Audio Challenge:Foreign Lands

Posted by Monika on August 3, 2010

9. Foreign LandsBy Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)UP into the cherry treeWho should climb but little me?I held the trunk with both my handsAnd looked abroad on foreign lands.I saw the next door garden lie,Adorned with flowers, before my eye,And many pleasant places moreThat I had never seen before.If I could find a higher treeFarther and farther I should see,To where the grown-up river slipsInto the sea among the ships.To where the roads on either handLead onward into fairy land,Where all the chil

5. My Treasures By Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)THESE nuts, that I keep in the back of the nestWhere all my lead soldiers are lying at rest,Were gathered in autumn by nursie and meIn a wood with a well by the side of the sea.This whistle we made (and how clearly it sounds! 5By the side of a field at the end of the grounds.Of a branch of a plane, with a knife of my own,It was nursie who made it, and nursie alone!The stone, with the white and the yellow and gray,We discovered I cannot tell how far

We Love our Families

Posted by Mr. Bob on August 3, 2010

We all love our families. Every culture in the world recognizes families, but not all cultures consider the same people to be their kin. You may ask, "How can that be"?Did you know that in some cultures the son goes to live with his mother's brother because he is kin to him but not in the same clan as his own father? In certain cultures a woman may have more than one husband and in others a man may have more than one wife. The world is a very different place once we leave our own culture and sta

Most of you use your music player to share music. Did you know that it is also useful for recording your voice? If you record your voice, others can help you with your pronunciation! Last month I was so pleased that some of our writers took the bonus challenge for Writing Challenge #21. Meissa recorded her blog post! Reiziuh did too.Long ago, I invited you to record an audio introduction of yourself. Today I'm going to ask you to try something new! Let's record a poetry collection together. My f

Why am I here? Why are you here?

Posted by Mr. Bob on August 1, 2010

I am new here and hope to make a difference for some learners when I have the spare time. This seems to be a great site and there are many people with different backgrounds all with an interest in English.I love learning and teaching too. Other cultures are very interesting and I have studied many of them and traveled widely. Undergraduate classes were very interesting and I focused on Anthropology, Biology, and English literature. I even was allowed to teach biology labs as an undergraduate bec

Do the people we like the least may need our love the most?

Before being registered on MyEC, I had been registered on another site, where the management was unknown to the members.Strange things were happening there.From time to time, there appeared new members who were behaving outrageously - they insulted people,made fun of them, and even threaten to kill them! What had people to do? The administration hadn't reacted to members' appealing for a long time.Then people started discussing what should they do with the offenders and resulted in a loss - they

What is the difference?

Posted by Mr. Bob on July 31, 2010

All of us who have studied languages discover words and phrases with more than one meaning. These may have different meanings for native speakers in a single place or have a meaning in one place that is different from the meaning in another. These differences can be difficult and sometimes embarrassing for learners of the new language.

I am a native English speaker and have been surprised in my own language when visiting other English speaking countries. Many years ago my wife used a phrasal ve

Polar Bear: I come in PeaceNorbert Rosing ' s striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada ' s Hudson Bay

The 12th Braz-TESOL National Convention was held in São Paulo, at Escola Beit Yacov. Brilliant educators were there to talk to us teachers of English who loved the talks, workshops and mini courses we attended.I saw many good things that I will adapt to my classes, but something which is really good is that I noticed one more time I'm in the right path, doing what I have done as a teacher.One of the workshops I apreciated a lot was with Jane Godwin Coury. She took great tips to work speaking and

Hi Salim,
I hope you're doing great there. At the beginning of this year my schedule was so busy, in addition to teaching some new activities and tasks, I have been waiting for a touch of my mind and hand... exhausting and fun! You know, a lot of surprises happened to me these days.... I'll share everything with you when you'll have some free time.

Salim,
I hope you don't forget the bustle of health and always remember me. I want to say that to make friendship with you was part of a miracle. A
