Everyone, I am looking forward to having you in my listening classes this year. Just so we all understand well, let's review a bit:
A very important part of our class is improving your vocabulary, so here are some links to help you. First, you must keep a vocabulary notebook of words you hear, see, or read this year--here are the vocabulary notebook guidelines which you received in class. Every week please add 5 useful words (not just difficult words, but words you could use).
You may also just check the lists: 1000-word level , 2000-word level, Academic Word List.
The following links are for our story, Orphan Journey Home. Text will become available after each class, while worksheets will be available before you receive them in class.

From Mr. E: Hi--when you're downloading a worksheet, you might save it and then edit it if you'd like to. Feel free to change font size or move the picture to make it fit your paper well :)
These are homepages dealing with listening issues...interesting and useful.
IPA page, folks...a very cool page, good for practicing Phonetics homepage
The top six links are very good practice. Be careful, however, because this is British English (not American English).
