Hello Again,
I've had many requests for the web addresses of the interesting resources I mentioned during my talk at the TESOL France - Best of BESIG day back in June.

My first offering is the really cool Site Pal web site, which is a really funny and funky site which offers something genuinely intriguing for free.
You can use it in any lesson with your student(s) if you have an internet connection, or amuse yourself by creating messages and exercises for your students to do between sessions.

As you can see, it's fun and motivating - when I showed it to one of my private students - the boss of a car company - he decided to use it for an amusing motivational new year message for his entire sales force. You can create a quick message for free.
Post comments if you need more info.
Sab
Providing substance, solace and stimulation to the worthy English teachers of France!
