ShaoLan: Learn to read Chinese … with ease!
Reply
For foreigners, learning to speak Chinese is a hard task. But learning to read the beautiful, often complex characters of the Chinese written language may be less difficult. ShaoLan walks through a simple lesson in recognizing the ideas behind the characters and their meaning — building from a few simple forms to more complex concepts. Call it Chineasy.
How could this type of approach be adapted to learning English? By using symbols and connecting ideas to wider knowledge, it was all so organic. I wonder how far this approach could really go though. What are the next steps? Could it take a learner past simple recognition of the basics?
Either way, I learned so much from this talk. I wish my students left every lesson feeling that same sense of reward.

ESL Group Work Activities That Work
Do you have a group work activity for the ESL classroom that really works?
Group work has a well-established place in the theory and practice of language
teaching. Still, many teachers and many students seem to be unenthusiastic about
it.
This mind map sets out some of the benefits of group work, some viewpoints and a few simple activites.
I am specifically interested in activities that work with classes of 20+ school children.
The theory being that adults who are paying for a language course may be more easily encouraged to carry out any given group work task in english rather than their native language. Admittedly, that is certainly not always the case and there are several root causes at work there which may be the topic for another post.
However, for the purposes of this discussion I am interested in activities that successfully encourage school children to use english in order to complete the given task.

A little extra money?
I wanted to tell you about something really interesting that I’m doing at the moment.
Apologies for going somewhat of topic here but you would probably kill me for NOT telling you!
As you know I am constantly seeking ways to supplement my teaching income and I really like things that I can do from anywhere in the world.
So, I recently became a member of a unique style of internet company and it’s proving very profitable for me! I was invited to join by my old boss who has been doing really well with it himself. I set up a simple account and started making money within 48 hours!
This is a legitimate, tried and tested business with verifiable results. Anyone can do it. I agree that it sounds too good to be true but you can research it easily yourself without any risk.
I promise this is worth your serious attention so please read to the end.
