Always learning

For those who are interested in teaching at international schools in other countries, Kim Kofina has created a blog titled Always Learning which allows her and other international teachers to blog about their experiences.  Reading the blogs will help you make a decision as to IF and WHERE you might want to teach.  Also, those who are already teaching in international schools around the world now have a forum in which to give and receive support.   

                                                                         

Online TPR exercises for ESLs

Henny Jellema has created a website for ESLs, TPR-exercises that allows them to practice their listening and reading skills using TPR.  This site has enticing stick figures demonstrating particular commands which allow the student to refer to while they match a verbal command with the written command.  As the student matches the listening and reading commands, they are immediately rewarded with a smiley face.  Progressing levels move the student from simple English commands to more complicated directions.  Cute and educational!
