Javier’s English Corner

You may have noticed I have changed the lay-out for this blog. The reason for it was that I wanted to have a template that incorporated ‘Answer Tips‘, a great tool you will be able to use over here from now on. ‘Answer Tips’ is powered by Answers.com, a fantastic online dictionary I use non-stop. What ‘Answer Tips’ does is to allow you to double-click any word on this blog to get a definition for it without going to another website. Why don’t you check it out? You will see something like this

Doesn’t it look cool? Besides getting a definition, you can access translations and the pronunciation for most of the words you may look up. I hope you find this useful. Enjoy it!

‘Bloggin’ away‘, a fantastic blog created by my dear colleague Carmen López from EOI Mieres, has been awarded a prize in II Premio Espiral edublogs ‘08. Carmen and her hard working students certainly deserve it, as they do a fantastic job out of providing interesting activities for advanced ESL students.

You can find ‘Bloggin’ away‘ on my link list. If you have never visited it, I strongly recommend you do soon. I guarantee you will find something that will help improve your English.

My warmest congrats to you and your students, Carmen, and keep up the good work!!!
