Further speaking tools

This is been a long string of posts, but I hope you will find something useful in all of it. I decided to split things up so that you can follow the topics better.

As you can see on the side bar, I've illustrated a way to practice speaking with voicethread a nice easy and many-sided tool. If you agree, I can add pictures and tasks for you to practice together.

I also made another place for speaking for the last course. It never got used, so I hope you will find it valuable: Chinswing . Here you can comment on a topic for about a minute or two.

Other tools include simply recording your voice using Audacity , which lets you make recordings and then change them to MP3 or wav format. You can then send it to me via e-mail. A further idea is to use skype and practice the sections where you talk to each other. There is a recording tool attached and you can record and send it.

Well, if you would like to try anything out and want help, let me know. We can devote time in class, since ultimately, it means more speaking practice for you.

Next class dates

Okay everyone, just to make things ABSOLUTELY clear, here are the last few dates for the course:
6th May! (changed!!!)
13th May
20th May (last course date)

And then you have the speaking exam.
If you want to get some practice in on the 27th, that can be arranged. I'll be at home and we could get together on Skype. Think about it and let me know.
It's very simple to download if you do want to practice. The more the merrier!
