come visit the 5301 blog!

Hi all -

Just letting you know that the 5301 class for the summer has posted a number of things on their new blog - feel free to stop in anytime and check it out, offer your comments, make suggestions, and find some new friends!

You can find that blog here.

Assessment?

Well after a couple of sessions with learners with virtually no English, I believe this is how an assessment would pan out. Hope your summers are off to a great start.

This appears to be a "non-cost", funded by department of education site. Although one does have to register, there is a video about registering in Spanish as well as English.

comparing a british and american commercial for lang. use

I thought these two would be interesting to compare because they are both the same mac commercial but the language for relaxing on vacation is quite different.

Leaving the Blog open...

I'm glad to see that you guys like the idea of continuing with the blog! I know that in the settings we can add a list of email addresses that get emailed anytime there is a new post. I'll see what the other options are as well.

I'll leave the blog open and all of you listed as authors for now, and if anyone wants to be added as an administrator, that's easy to do as well!

Keep on going- by Ruby

I would like to let you guys know that I love to learn from you and I love to share whatever I know and I feel to you. Therefore, I am for KEEPING ON GOING!!

However, where shall we move next?? Any genius got any idea? Shall we have a new blog only belonging to us?? Anyway, I am looking forward to our new world together spiritually. Haha....

Concerning my previous post

I'm glad so many of you are interested in keeping in touch and keeping this going! Does anyone know how to get blogger to send you emails when someone posts or comments on a post? It would be nice to have reminders sent to our inboxes.
