To Professors/Instructors

This blog was created with the purpose of improving our ESL students’ vocabulary. Language is how humans are different from other species in the world and we need to communicate effectively. We have integrated some technological devices such as games and web resources to help students in their vocabulary development. This blog can be used with students from 7^th to 12^th grade, but it can be modified for advanced students from 5^th or 6^th grade. We invite you to explore the blog, and we hope it can be useful in your classes.
