Friday Computer Class, November 8, 2013

Here are this week's lessons:

1. Elemental English Pronunciation Podcasts

These intermediate-level podcasts tell you how to pronounce American English.

2. Minimal Pair Practice and Listen and Repeat videos

These lessons are very easy to use. We'll practice in class.

3. Ventures 3, Unit 6 

Finish the first 3 sections or more, then click REPORT and print the results. We'll look at how to read them and review wrong answers.

4. John Robinson's blogs  

This is one of a group of ESL blogs about basic English grammar.  We'll look at more of them in the future. 

5. Spelling Games and Vocabulary Games

You can click on other subjects at the top of the page.

6. Verbal (words) Reasoning Quiz This is much harder than it looks. We'll try some questions in class.

NOTE: On Wednesday, November 13, our class will take a tour of the Chinatown Campus Library. You will need to get a PIN number from the librarian before we do this. I'll explain in class.

Find information about this famous place with a computer search. 

Use google.com to search. What words can you use in your search from looking at these photos?

Finally, here's a familiar song to go with the photos:
