Hi all, I hope you are well. Tonight, Rae is coming in to guest teach. She's a former colleague of mine who has taught TESOL and is currently working with VCC downtown. I'm excited for her to come in and work with our class. Please give her a warm welcome! I'll see you tomorrow night. Marc

The police powers in Canada may be quite different from whichever country the students traveled from. Therefore, it is important to be aware should students have any police interactions. enjoy Cooper

Hi everyone I hope you are having a great weekend! When the program began, I was researching online about how a teen, Tim Doner, used technology to aid his fluency and accuracy with languages with authentic exposure. For example, the teenager in the clip uses the Internet to draw elements of blended learning before engaging in conversation with others using the foreign language he acquired. In addition, he would also elicit responses for pronunciation by posting YouTube clips of himself and then gets the feedback from native speakers in the chosen foreign language. If you are short for time to watch the whole clip, his learning strategy is in minutes 4:15 to 6:00. I hope you enjoy the clip! https://youtu.be/Km9-DiFaxpU

Hi everyone, For this week, I am thinking about using games in our classrooms with ESL students. Are they effective or waste of time? From my point of view and I am sure many of you have the same idea, games always work. Recycling some of our papers on pedagogy methods, games direct students towards more acquiring the language . Isn't it awesome? What I want to share with you is the game called " Simon says ". I think it is a good one for lower levels and encourages students to practice their vocabulary, grammar, and also say  a complete sentence. You can also adjust it for practicing different tenses; for example, you can ask students to make their sentences in past for the game. I found it interesting when I was navigating internet for ESL teaching experiences. You can read the page by going to the  link below and you can find 9 more games, which you may be familiar with some of them; https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/10-best-games-esl-teachers#simonsays ...
