Dear students,

Here I explain how to use Todd's site: ELLLO!

If you are a beginner, you can read the transcript first, then listen the audio clip and answer to each segment questions. You can also read the transcript while listening to the audio clip if you open it in a different tag/window.

If you are an intermediate or advanced student, first of all, listen to the audio clip and take the slide quiz, then read the transcript and learn the new expressions.

You can and should use this site everyday as individual study because homework is most effective when it's not a drag but an exciting, interesting experience! Homework should be about improving your listening and writing skills, so below is the task:

You can also make a blog or a new page on your existing blog named "ELLLO site".

In it please write:

1 - what audio clip you listened to, (title and http)
2 - write what is it about,
3 - what is your impression and
4 - what are the new words and expressions you have learned from it.

Since you have listened to many audio clips, you will be able to make many wonderful comments.

Todd is looking forward to seeing your page as well. We will both write comments on your blog and you should write comments to the other students as well for encouragement and mutual support.

I am sure you will have most fun at doing it!　頑張ってください、ネ！See you in class.

My last class in the Masters of Education degree at Temple University Japan

Today was one of the best days of my life because I had the pleasure to present this blogging project to my teacher during my last class in this degree. I had a nice presentation because this project of blogging all my students into a network for doing the homework was an original idea, and Todd made me the honor to come as a guest at my presentation. All my colleagues and the teacher could not believe Todd had come to see my presentation, in person! Todd was thrilled and very pleased to see your blogs and homework, guys. I used a projector and showed everyone all your blogs! A message from Todd: "Keep it up and you will improve in no time! and Let's have a party together soon!" He loves a glass of beer sometimes! Below are some pics from my presentation with my teacher, colleagues and Todd and the good-bye party after the class. After the party I went to the cinema theater to watch for the 2nd time "DaVinci Code", when I realized I was a Templar myslef by graduating Temple University, therefore a "guardian of the pure truth, humanity and prosperity", right?
