Website Changes and Additions:
Visitors always want to know what I am currently working on to improve my Websites, which also include www.dailyesl.com, www.ezslang.com, esl-lab.blogspot.com, www.trainyouraccent.com, www.tips4students.com, and any number of other new projects yet to be announced. With many new things going on, it is difficult to point you to all of them, but I often am spending a lot of time making current listening activities even better by adding new features. Here is a short list:
New Website Features:
> Added new video section to my Web site called Video Snapshots. Each short video introduces some aspect of life in the US from Randall's own experiences. Take a look at them HERE.
| Created a Facebook page for my Web site where I can announce changes to my Web sites. I hope this will allow visitors to become more aware of the latest content on my site. |
|
> I am adding an exciting new flash audio format to many of the listening actvities on my site which will be easier to use for many users. You can read more about this on my Media Players page. I started working on this project in 2009, and this project will be ongoing until it is completed.
> [Current Project Through 2010]: Adding new vocabulary quizzes to my Website, www.dailyesl.com. These quizzes are exciting in that the help students review the vocabulary from the related reading and listening activity. You can try to quiz below, but be sure to do the main activity (the second link) to see how these activities work together:
> [Current Project Through 2010]: Adding new vocabulary exercises to help students review and practice the words that appear in the conversations so they can learn to use the vocabulary in their own speech (see examples called "Mixed-Up Sentence" and "Sentence and Vocabulary Matching" and read more about this project HERE).> [Current Project Through 2010]: Revising many of the Post-Listening Exercises to encourage more application and recycling of the language skills presented in each listening activity (i.e., a focus on putting the listening skills into speaking practice for addtional learning). The newer exercises encourage greater use of critically-thinking skills, including analyzing information in the form of an Internet-based task (see example HERE).
> Linking my Post-Listening Exercises to my blog at http://esl-lab.blogspot.com, which encourages students to share their own ideas on related topics (see example on credit cards HERE).
