The Writing Studio Blog: YouTube - podEnglish's Channel

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:12:00 -0400

If [you] enjoy watching short, sometimes humorous video clips to practice listening and review English expressions and grammar that you know – or to learn more, you might like to try these micro-lessons:

YouTube - podEnglish's Channel: "Bite[-]sized video English lessons to help you learn English.... This is the complete collection of English lessons from beginner to advanced" (channel info.).

There are 80 clips on that channel now, both topic-focused and situational. In addition to that collection, you also can find six other playlists of videos at various levels of instruction (beginner, elementary, intermediate, and advanced) to choose from here.

Please let your classmates, peers, and me know which ones you try, and what you think of them, by sharing your thoughts in comments on this post. If you wish, you can use the "same window" link recipe from the LTD Project Wiki (HTML Tips & Tutorials) to add reader-friendly links from your comments to selected videos you recommend.[160 words]

The Writing Studio Blog: Writing III: Exam Items, 2010, §1C

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:00:00 -0400

There are prompts for three short essay items in the slideshow presentation below. Please view the entire presentation, and read and follow all directions carefully.

You will need to post an individual response to each item, in a single comment for each, on the three reflecting pool posts earmarked for your section (§1A or §1C, below), not on this post. I suggest that you compose and then grammar- and spell-check your responses in a word-processing application before posting them, because you will be unable to edit your responses after you post them as comments.

Section 1A	Section 1C
Reflecting Pool 1 (§1A, only)Developing Awareness	Reflecting Pool 4 (§1C, only)Developing Awareness
Reflecting Pool 2 (§1A, only)Facing Challenges	Reflecting Pool 5 (§1C, only)Facing Challenges
Reflecting Pool 3 (§1A, only)Achieving Satisfaction	Reflecting Pool 6 (§1C, only)Achieving Satisfaction

Writing III 2010: §§ 1A and 1C
