Why set up a twitter account for class? As a twitter user myself, I quickly realised how useful it could become for my students: they’d increase their exposure to language by engaging more in reading and writing.

MY FAVOURITE ONLINE RESOURCES. Category Archives: Just thinking. Posted in Just thinking. I love the gardening analogy, and I think it works really well with anything related to language learning. Take the wild flower. Now, a home-grown plant.
