Then go to "Menu" and take as many of the other prepostion quizzes as you can.

Welcome to our Spring semester!

Welcome to our spring semester. I use this "blog" to help you study at home. The links to other ESL websites are very useful for practicing your listening, reading, grammar, and even speaking. Please use them. If you only study English during class time, you will not learn quickly.

Voice of America

Go to this link for todays lesson.

This is a good website with many activities linked to news articles with audio.

Happy President's Day!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Winter Trimester!
Hello, this is a simple "blog" where I post information about the class. One of the most important uses of this blog is the "Links" section to the right. Please look at and use these links to practice your English. My first recommendation is www.elllo.org. A great site for listening, video and other activities and quizzes.
