There's a very nice article which mentions students' English goals. How can you motivate them in their learning process?

#17 quite literally ...
Go til the end!
Funny idiom with a nice explanation at the end.
Every language has wonderful and rich idioms - those groups of words that have a special meaning that is different from the ordinary meaning of each word. For example, 'to kill two birds with one stone', do two things with one action. Join the discussion at www.eltcommunity.com/elt/community/dictionaries/idioms

How to build Personal Learning Network (PLN)
Building Your Own Personal Learning Network by Carl Anderson
This short film is an introduction to the rather abstract but powerful idea emerging regarding using social media tools (web 2.0) to build personal learning networks. In this film I focus on how I use my personal learning network for teacher professional development but the same strategy could be applied to any form of learning. Teachers could have their students create their own personal learning networks for research projects and professionals can create their own for learning about their field or networking.
