Learning resources - BBC

Hi class,

just wanted to share this link with you: this is one section of the BBC website which is dedicated to learning English. Have a look when you have time, there are lots of exercises on different themes and using different skills (listening, grammar,...). 

See you in class!

Welcome!

 

"Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did." ‒ Sarah Caldwell 

 

2 hours a week clearly isn't enough to learn a language.


This is why I thought a blog might be a nice way to further our class discussions as well as to start new ones. I see this virtual space as a place where we can all exchange ideas and learn together and from each other... while practising English!

Feel free to post links, thoughts, questions, comments, articles, news, ... on education-related topics that you find interesting and want to share with the rest of the class!

Don't worry too much about language, just think of this blog as a place where you can practise English while learning new things about your field - education. This is an opportunity for you to learn from your peers, so write, share ideas, make mistakes, and keep this in mind: 

“Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English.
It means they know another language.”
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 

I hope you're as enthusiastic as I am about this blog experiment!
