How does one choose between the many tempting workshops at the TESOL convention?
Naturally, I chat with a friends and co-workers collecting tips. I check titles, times, and locations. I seek more information online!
The outstanding Center for Applied Linguistics website includes many resources for ESL teachers, program administrators, and university researchers. Their goal, which I share, is to bridge the huge gap between academic theory and classroom practice, finding effective ways to... Read Full Story
I'm hearing the word UP a lot these days, especially in the grocery store. Yo! What's UP? (or wassup?) Better straighten UP before I jack you UP. There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' I'm wondering if UP is even UP anymore? It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why... Read Full Story

How to Use Word Association to Master Japanese A good goal when learning another language is to try to remember words so that you won’t ever forget them. That last sentence contains quite a lofty goal. You make absurd associations that are meaningful to you and in this way by making absurd associations between something that reminds you of the meaning of the word in Japanese but sounds like something you can relate to in English. The more absurd the associations, the less likely you are to... Read Full Story
One of my Hispanic neighbors helps me stay up on what Spanish I know. We have some funny discussions about the other’s language. I constantly ask her about some of the expressions I hear George Lopez utter, and it amazes me how one expression can mean five different things depending on how he says it. She, on the other hand, thinks English is mostly crazy, and I have to agree.
I can imagine explaining to a young child that there is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger. And a pineapple... Read Full Story

Today I’m off to Sutton in the Eastern Townships to do a Writers Out Loud event with journalist, poet, and non-fiction writer Mark Abley . He’s supposed to interview me, but I imagine we’ll end up talking about his work as well. (For those of you in hailing distance, it starts at 7 p.m. at 4-C Chemin Maple, is free, and is co-sponsored by the Librairie Livre d’or and the Quebec Writers’ Federation.) Over the last 10 days I’ve been dipping in and out of Mark’s two most recent books, Spoken... Read Full Story
Ok. Now that you can count to 10 in Japanese, it is not a good time to start lounging around leisurely praising yourself for being able to do such a thing! Its fantastic that you can count and you should feel proud of yourself, pat yourself on the back and lets get moving. Precept by Precept, line by line, towards better Japanese. Let's get going! There is much more to learn, and the numbers we'll use as a foundation, a well-spring from which to grow and progress. From here many have started... Read Full Story
