A Bonanza of Links!!

I am going to be embarking on a new adventure within the next couple of weeks, and I am preparing feverishly for it as I write this new post. All of my students will be SCIENTISTS (!) and they will be PHD'S in some field of research at the University of Massachusetts. While I will be dealing with what you would normally expect in an ESL class of this nature and level, public speaking is being added to the curriculum, so proper pronunciation takes on added importance.
I have been able to locate printed information from various sources; namely, I have been able to borrow "Effective Presentation Skills" from Linda Gosselin, a teacher at Quinsigamond College, and excellent information from my research from good old reliable "Google".
While there are many keys to good oral presentation, the most important is PROPER PRONUNCIATION. Therefore, with this is mind, I have added two new excellent links to my blog (www.leocoleman.com)
They are www.howjsay.com and www.harcourtschool.com/glossary/esl
Adding just two links can hardly be termed a "bonanza" but be patient. I will add more as I get more time. Right now I very busy reading as much as I can about public speaking!
Keep looking on my blog for new ESL links because I think I have found a place in California that is the "King Tut's Tomb of ESL Links".
