Hello Everyone,  

 

First, we want to let our Japanese friends and collegues know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this devastating time. We were happy to see that some of you were able to get to New Orleans for the TESOL Convention. 

In the News

 
We have just returned from an exciting trip to New Orleans for the 2011 International TESOL Convention. If you would like to receive handouts from our presentation, "Innovative Techniques to Teach Stress and Intonation," please click here.  
Sharing the RULES Program with Colleagues
 

As several of you have requested, we areRULES Cover offering more extensive sample chapters of RULES to share with the economic decision-makers at your schools, businesses, and facilities. Please click here to see a file that includes the Table of Contents and selected samples in the units on Compound Nouns, Linking, Consonant Blends and Clusters, /t/ Variations, and Y-insertions

 
Resources

In our travels to various conferences and exhibitions, we come across wonderful materials for related skill training including presentation skills, telephone communication, writing, etc. We have decided to showcase a "Featured Product" each month to help you expand your professional libraries. 

Harrington, D and LeBeau, C, Speaking of Speech New Edition: Basic Presentation Skills for Beginners, MacMillan English.
ISBN 978-0-2307-2601-7speaking of speech

This book was designed for beginner to intermediate English speaking high school students in Japan. It has some excellent tips about gestures, non-verbal communication, and organization of speeches with an accompanying DVD. The content is more geared toward high school students (as intended) and may be too low level for professionals in the workforce. However, it is an excellent additional resource if you are teaching public speaking or presentation skills, especially to non-native speakers. Check it out
With best regards,

Lynda Katz Wilner
