TOURS IN YOUR CITY
You can practice your English by taking tours in your city.  For some tour ideas in your city, just click on the link below.  

Beginning and Intermediate Speakers

If you are a beginning or intermediate speaker, make sure to tell the guide before the tour begins.  This way, the guide might slow down a little during explanations.  If it is possible to get a special guide, native speaker friend, or teacher to bring you through the city, then you should do this.  Remember that if your real objective is to learn English, then you should speak English during the tour.  Use the opportunity to have fun in the exciting city!  Let your mind experience the language and the culture.  What do you see?  Hear?  Taste? Smell? Feel?  Talk about it!

Advanced Speakers

When you take the tour, see if you can get a good guide who will explain what you are seeing.  If you are an advanced speaker, enjoy learning and listening. Ask questions.  What are the places around you?  What's the history?  Why is it important?  Enjoy using the language in a social way.


(on the url's...lectures, etc. university stuff...)

GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY:  HOMEWORK PRACTICE!

Beginning and Intermediate Levels

Are you studying new vocabulary in your class or at home?  How about new sentence structures?  By practicing these structures, you can improve your English.  Go into shops and use what you are learning.  If you are practicing the simple present, ask, "How much does this cost?"  When you hear the answer, listen closely.  Which structures and vocabulary did you hear?  It is natural to feel timid, especially when you are trying new structures.  Many people feel this way.  By pushing yourself to learn and to take risks, you will learn!  If it helps you, you might talk with a friend who is also learning English.  Perhaps you can challenge eachother to use your English.

Advanced Levels

Is your level advanced?  Try your advanced sentence structures and new idioms on the street.  Listen to responses.  Every time that you practice, you reinforce what you have learned and you work on developing your skills.

MOVIE SCRIPTS

Recommended for Intermediate and Advanced Learners

If you are the kind of person who enjoys discussing and thinking about relationships, emotions, and a variety of topics in-depth, then you might want to look at some movie scripts.  There are many free movie internet sites on the web.  Have fun reading!  Be mindful of your emotions, character relationships.  Think about culture.  Remember not everything that you see in the movies happens in real life;  however, certain elements can reflect culture. Are there elements of the movie that you feel reflect the culture that you are in?  

You may want to relax and to forget about vocabulary and grammar for a while.  That's okay.  Or you may want to pay close attention to grammar structures. If so, then you should have a good dictionary and idiom dictionary nearby when you are reading.  You will probably read some expressions that are new for you.  Movies are a great way to learn idioms!  Whether you want to sit back and relax or be an active and observant learner as you read, you should decide what you need most at this time and do it!  For a list of movie script websites, click on the URL below.


SEE A MOVIE

By seeing a movie, you will have a great opportunity to build your listening skills and experience the adventure of U.S. culture!  Did you see how big those popcorn buckets are? If you are comfortable with using the internet, it may help you to read what it is about on the net before seeing it.

ABOUT VIDEOS

Videos are a great, cheap way to enjoy movies!  Sometimes you have the option of having the words written at the bottom of the screen, or using captions.  Some people find that captions help them to learn specific vocabulary and to reinforce structures and understanding of idioms.  Others feel that by keeping the captions off, they are reinforcing their ability to listen well to the langauge.  

(Have URLS leading to video shop websites, dialogues, vocab.  Also talk about library videos.)


I(n the movie page, include one url with dialogue links, one url with free movies and commercial movie times, etc.)


THEATER

Oh, the theater!  The theater is a fantastic way for you to experience a city!  Hear the music!  See the costumes! Enjoy watching the talent that is in front of you!  Feel the excitement of the theater!  

BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE LEVELS

Musical theater is often the most enjoyable for learners who are beginning and advanced levels. The storylines are often more clear and the music and dance is a lot of fun.  

ADVANCED LEVELS

All forms of theater can be seen at the advanced levels.  Don't be surprised if you hear many expressions that are new for you.  You may also hear accents to which you are unaccustomed.  Be prepared for this and relax if it happens.  Know that this is normal for people who are nonnative speakers learning the language.


(Description words related to the theater.  Theater situations, invitations.  As the site expands, listening exercises.  URLs with theater listings, theater ads,community theater ads, etc.)

VOLUNTEER JOBS

(Maybe have some of this section on the volunteer page separately?  How much?  Where?

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED LEVELS

If you are planning to be in the U.S. for six months or more, then you might want to get a volunteer job.  Remember that volunteer jobs can be exciting and educational or pretty boring. It's important that you ask good questions so that you are making a commitment to a job that is right for you.  Even though you are working as a volunteer, you should expect a meaningful learning experience from the job, as well as an opportunity to contribute.

Things to Consider

Short-term Help

Organizations will probably want to give you responsibilities that do not require a lot of training.  Why?  Volunteers usually do not stay for more than six months to a year.  They don't want to invest a lot of time training you, since this wouldn't be wise for the company.
Therefore, you are going to need to be very careful about the kind of job that you take.  Of course, many organizations are grateful for the offer of volunteer help and want to give you a meaningful experience. Help them to do this by asking good questions and being very clear.

Kinds of Volunteer Positions

There is almost any kind of volunteer job under the sun.  Who wouldn't want a diligent person to come and work for free?  That's quite a deal!  Do you love music? You might want to volunteer at a concert hall for folk music, rock, classical, and more!  Do you love museums?  You might want to work at a museum!  Do you enjoy helping children?  How about a children's hospital?  Are you interested in the Environment and City Planning? Why Not Go to an Environmental Organization?  For information about kinds of volunteer jobs that may be available, go to the white section of the page below and click on the URL.

Be Specific about the Department



Questions to Ask

What would my exact responsibilities be?  (Remember:  Would is "hypothetical."  It means that you haven't accepted the position yet.

Be careful!  Do you really want to spend 5 hours at a copy machine?

What kind of people contact will I have?

Will I be using the phones?  How often?

What will a typical day look like? (This means, what will I be doing at 9:00, 10:00,11:00, etc.)

How will this position help the organization?

How much of a commitment do you need?  (This means, for how many months will I need to work here as a volunteer?  You really should be honest with them about this.)

Etc.


THE INTERVIEW
How to get ready
Link to websites...

Payment

Please remember that if you don't have a green card, you can't get paid for your volunteer work.  Sometimes learners make the mistake of looking for "volunteer work", only to be disappointed when they reach the end of the search and are told that they can't be paid. Remember that volunteer means work for free. Go into a volunteer job with the understanding that it is unpaid work.  If it's really a source of income that you are looking for, you shouldn't waste your time looking for volunteer jobs that pay. They don't.

But! Many volunteer jobs have other benefits that they offer.  If you volunteer for a theater, you can probably get free theater tickets.  If you love music and volunteer for a concert hall, you can often get free tickets to a concert.  In terms of your language learning, it's a great way to practice the langauge and build your skills!  Finally, the kinds of friends that you can make when you meet other volunteers can actually be a priceless benefit to volunteering!  If you decide to do this kind of work, have a great time knowing that you are helping people and also gaining a great learning experience.
