Welcome to the Advanced A-9 Class!
To help you find and practice various English idioms naturally, I have collected some websites for you to check out. Some of these are resources, others are for self-study and testing, others are places were you will see idioms used by native speakers of English. Be sure to ask me for any other resources on- or off-line.
We will be moving into making Group Speaking Journals. The directions and responses for the Group Speaking Journals will be given out in class. Remember that you will need a new 60-minute tape for this activity.
This page will be updated/changed from time to time. So check back often for new bulletins and information.
