Greetings to All Group Members,
As a dunce who only speaks one language, I am in awe of the members who can write even their name in a second language. Actually at one time, I could write my name in Arabic, but that’s about the measure of my second language skills. Writing any language well is not a piece of cake, but the ability to write in a second language is a true sign of dedication and intelligence. I have two groups that I have started in order to provide language instruction. I would like to dedicate one of my groups, the “Learn English Properly Group”, to grammar and structure, and the “Language Communicator Group” to writing.
Student editorial or critique groups are one activity that I have found effective in a real classroom. I would like to turn the “Language Communicator Group” into a rustic, virtual classroom by using online editorial groups. The theory – if you have to proofread the work of others, you proofread your own work more effectively. Many people can correct their own mistakes if they proofread.
I would like to add reading and listening comprehension exercises to the groups soon. I think we will start soon with a discussion of one of my favorite poems. If anyone would like to take advantage of these activities, please let me know and I will send you an invitation to join one or both of these groups.
Regards,
