Listening to Conversations

Do you want to practice your listening skills? This great website, Elllo, has thousands of conversations between English speakers. To listen, click on the topic of the conversation that looks interesting to you, then click the PLAY button.

Each conversation has a quiz, and you can also read the conversation while you're listening to it. Some of the conversations also have definitions for new words.

Spring Semester Will Begin Wednesday, Jan 27th

Hi Everyone!

The new semester will begin on Wednesday, January 27th. I hope we'll see you in class!

Please note we'll have a new schedule : Mon Tues Wed Thurs - 8:30 am to 12:15 pm. My class won't meet on Fridays.


There won't be any classes on Monday and Tuesday (Jan 25 & Jan 26) because we'll have teacher meetings. But the school will be open if you need to register for a class, talk to a counselor, or ask some questions about a class or program.

If you're looking for something new this semester, take a look at the class schedule here You can select a campus location (our location is "West City") or you can choose the type of class (English, computers, physical education, art, etc.) As always, if you have any questions, let me know!

Last week of the semester...


It's the last week of our semester. Many of you have decided to continue in this class next semester, but some are moving on to the advanced class, to study for the GED, to take a job training class, or to a new job. We'll miss you!

Here's the link to the spring class schedule if you are looking for something to do on Fridays or Saturdays, or if you have friends who are looking for classes. http://sdce.edu/class-schedule/class-schedule.php?term=101

You can choose the location (West City campus), the subject (the name of the class you want), or the day you want to study. If you need help with it, let me know!
