Welcome to Ian's English!

Welcome to our fall session 2010! I'm excited about teaching and learning with you. Learning the English language is an extremely important thing, and also a lot of fun to learn. I love teaching it, and I hope you learn to love learning it.
Please use the internet to help your learning. There is so much good stuff out there that will help you learn specifically what YOU need to know and practice.

Welcome to Summer!

Hi, this is Ian's class blog for Intermediate/advanced ESL. We will have a fun 4 weeks together, and learn in many different ways. There are many, many resources online for students who really want to learn English. Please check out the links to the right.

Spring Break!

Have a good easter! Do your homework, and practice speaking, reading, listening, watching, and writining! See you April 12th!

Culture note: Bunnies, chicks and eggs represent new life.

Welcome to our Spring Fling!

My son Judah is excited about learning English. Aren't you? (Yes, I just wanted to show off my incredibly cute kid)

Welcome to the Spring semester. This blog will be something you can use to contact me, get links to other good ESL websites, view homework, and see pictures of ourselves :-)

On the right are a number of websites which are very good for practicing English. I hope it helps.

CASAS Test!

The CASAS Test is coming up this Thursday at 9:00 3/11/10. Please be on time. It is a listening test, as most of you know.

Spring Pre-Registration

Okay, on Thursday we are going to do more pre-registration for the Spring semester. Bring $30 and we will probably have you take turns going out of class and registering. Shoko will be in Rm. 24 to register anyone who needs to sign up for classes starting March 22. It's easier now because the lines are shorter!

EL Civics this Wednesday!

We have a test on Education for the English Language Civics test. There are 3 tasks:
1. You need to write sentences about specific goals you want to achieve in learning English.
2. You must write a brief and concise business letter to the administration about the ESL program.
3. You must write sentences about strategies for learning English.

We will review what to do Monday and Tuesday.
