Dictations - Audio - Forums

Listen to this post: http://www.myprofe.com/audio/blog.mp3

I’ve been busy with my webpage lately. For one thing, I’m adding audio and I plan to continue because I think that this is one of the things that was missing. It’s difficult to learn a language if you can’t hear it.

I’ve added a job interview practice section with typical interview questions that you can listen to and practice answering. http://www.myprofe.com/job.htm

I’ve added a dictation section where you can hear and do the same dictations I do in class with my students. http://www.myprofe.com/dictation.htm

And whenever possible I’m linking the topics in the forum to related sections in the webpage, all of which should make the visit more complete and instructive. http://www.myprofe.com/tandem/viewtopic.php?t=110&highlight

I’ve also started participating in a number of other language forums, answering questions and correcting mistakes. This has been both rewarding and frustrating. It’s a question of finding a place where you are welcome. http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/student/viewtopic.php?p=84110&highlight=#84110

One thing that really bothers me is that the majority of these forums allow anonymous posts. Now that’s fine if you’re just going to read what others have written but if you’re going to post a message and request help the least you can do is identify yourself. I don’t even know the first language of the person I’m correcting.
