It was great to meet everyone last weekend

I will post up the workshop handout next week.

In the meantime, here is the Word version of the Handout if anyone wishes to customise it.

Do mail me with any suggestions to add, subject to editorial discretion.

Thanks to Guy Jackson for sending over this very interesting review of electronic dictionaries.

The dictionaries reviewed here are CALD, Collins COBUILD, MED2, LDOCE and OAL Compass. The review appeared in Language Learning & Technology last Februray and is by Alfonso Rizo-Rodriguez of the University of Jaen. 

It was great to do this course last week, and to meet the participants.

If you wish to download the Universal podcast worksheet which was mentioned, just click on the link.

Good luck to all participants and all success for the future!

Enjoy!

Lindsay Clanfield has just started a new website dedicated to this style of presentation. Worth a visit if you didn’t see the exhilarating event at this year’s IATEFL conference in Exeter. You now have just six minutes and 40 seconds to enjoy Lindsay’s site…
