A Review of Online Reading Sites for ESL Students

Summary

 

In this article, the authors try to find suitable online sites for reading as supplementary material for ESL students. They choose their recommended site based on three criteria:user-friendliness, support and interactivity, and effects of media.The first category, user-friendliness, refers to the extent of usability of online reading materials.Support structure, such as dictionary, glossary, concordance and thesaurus, made available to users is the second category.The final category of evaluation criteriaincludes not only the quality of audio and video clips, but also our consideration of how well different forms of media integrate for effective learning, the reading speed of the audio clips and technical compatibility.

Among the eleven sites that they reviews, the top five sites recommended based on their students’ needs are as follows:

  1. VOAnews.com
  2. English Listening Lesson Library Online (elllo)
  3. literacynet.org
  4. Adult Learning Activities
  5. onestopenglish
  6. Unfortunately, onestopenglish(The Guardian Weekly )requires the students to subscribe, so the cost may be a deterrent.

Descending the cafeteria stairs at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), Ildiko Voller-Szenci greeted a classmate from Germany. A few steps later, she hailed a friend from Ecuador. Then she encountered one of the School’s executive education groups, composed of students from the far corners of the world. A sprinkling of languages peppered the hallway conversations.

“The languages spoken here and the connections that they represent to the world are just amazing,” said Voller-Szenci, who is Hungarian but also speaks English, French, and Russian.

15 reasons to avoid a TEFL course

 

Although it is hard to judge the quality of less well-known TEFL courses, it is comparatively easy to spot the ones that can be instantly dismissed. This article gives you some quick and easy methods to do just that.

 

By “reasons to avoid a TEFL course”, I most certainly don’t mean to avoid all TEFL training. Any training is better than none, and there are well-known and well-respected courses such as the Cambridge CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL that are available and recognised all over the world. There are, however, plenty of courses that you probably should avoid, especially if you also have the option of taking a more respected one (and most people do)...........

به کمک ضمیر ناخودآگاه درخواب انگلیسی بیاموزید!!

 امواج مغزی انسان در حالت خواب با حالت بیداری تفاوت می کند. وقتی انسان خواب است امواج مغزی او شکل خاصی می گیرند و به همین دلیل انسان خوابیده فقط آن امواج را می شناسد و با آن امواج واکنش های بدن خود را تنظیم می کند.

حال تصور کنید که یک دوره کامل آموزش انگلیسی به صورت صوتی (و به شکل آموزش زبان مادری یعنی ابتدا درس به فارسی تشریح و سپس به زبان انگلیسی ارائه شود.) حاوی بیش از چهل ساعت آموزش با امواج مغزی حالت خواب مدوله شود. یعنی به اصطلاح مهندسی مخابرات پوش امواج مغزی اصوات آموزشی باشند. در این حالت مغز ضمن پذیرش امواج خواب عمیق ، امواج ضمیمه و پوش آن را نیز بدون مقاومت می پذیرد و آنها را به درونی ترین لایه های خود راه می دهد. اکنون فرض کنید با تکنیک ‌binaural صداهای آموزشی فضایی شوند. یعنی به شکلی درآیند که تمام محفظه اسکلت درون مغز را به سلطه خود درآورند و فرد خوابیده احساس کند که به جای یک صدای بیرونی از درون فضای سرش صداها بیرون می آیند (یعنی درست حالتی که انسان وقتی با خودش حرف می زند و گفتگوی درونی روزانه خود را شکل می دهد)........

How to Learn Any Language in 3 Months

 

 

 

 

 

 

Language learning need not be complicated.

Principles of cognitive neuroscience and time management can be applied to attain conversational fluency (here defined as 95%+ comprehension and 100% expressive abilities) in 1-3 months. Some background on my language obsession, from an 
earlier post on learning outside of classes:

From the academic environments of Princeton University (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian) and the Middlebury Language Schools (Japanese), to the disappointing results observed as a curriculum designer at Berlitz International (Japanese, English), I have sought for more than 10 years to answer a simple question: why do most language classes simply not work?

How Boys and Girls Differ in the Way They Learn

Dr. Lauren Bradway

Boy and girl babies differ from the time they are in the crib. Richard Restak studied these differences in babies from birth to twelve months and published his findings in the now classic book The Brain: The Last Frontier (Grand Central Publishing, 1988). He found that boy babies demonstrate early superiority in visual acuity and possess better spatial abilities in dealing with three-dimensional space. Boy babies also perform better in gross motor body movements. He found girl babies to be more sensitive to sounds (especially their mother's voice) and more attuned to the social contexts of situations (faces, speech patterns and tones of voice). Girl babies speak sooner and develop larger vocabularies..........
