BUSY ENGLISH BANANA

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

So sorry I have been so busy I have not up-dated this blog for a week!
However, I have an exciting link to share with you today.

What do these two pictures say?
The first one is a British flag, and the second one is a banana. Strange combination!
So if we put them together, we get something like “ENGLISH BANANA”.


Is there such a thing as an English Banana?  I doubt it, England is too cold to grow bananas.

But a friend of mine has combined these two words and he calls his business exactly that
ENGLISH BANANA, and the web site is Englishbanana.com
If you click on the picture of the “English Banana” it will take you to his site.

There you will find so many excellent learning and teaching resources.
For example:
- 1,500 free printable worksheets- These will keep you (or your students) busy for a very long time
- 60+ free MP3 podcast lessons available to download
(Test your listening skills)
- free weekly online class on WiZiQ.com
(Connect with this series of free on line lessons every week for great FREE interactive learning, + check out the many other FREE on Line lessons here)
-          Facebook group
-          (Make lots of new friends and connections) and
-         
-          BEST OF ALL
-          If you are a teacher, you can download the complete “TALK A LOT “ English teaching curriculum to teach your students speaking skills in English very quickly (Believe me- I have used it extensively both as a curriculum AND as stand alone supplementary materials. It is one of the few curriculum I know of that needs NO BOOKS, but still works extremely well.

Welcome to the followers of this blog.
Its so nice to have you here, and I hope you can all tell a friend to hook into our community and benefit from our free shared resources.

Today I was talking with a Russian student who has taught himself English from using only FREE resources, and he says it’s the best way- He has worked at his own pace, selected only what he needed, and I was very surprised at the high quality of his English. With NO LESSONS, he sat for IELTS and scored straight 8s- AND HE HAS NEVER HAD A TEACHER- So it CAN be done if you have the willpower, and know where to find the right stuff.
