Yesterday in the class, when I took the test, somebody called me. When my cell phone started ringing, I felt embarrassed because I knew, we were not supposed to use cell phones in the class. But, I have learned now, before the class start, I have to turn off my cell phone.

Google Voice:
http://voice.google.com (sign up for a free account) Lesson Ideas Pair practice to record and archive dialogues from the book http://benncam.blogspot.com/2009/12/google-voice-as-powerful-to-know-you.html Students call in to record their pronunciation of a vocabulary list. The teacher can check the work at their convenience rather than try to listen and offer feedback to each student within a single class period. Students call in to record their pronunciation of a vocabulary list. The teacher can check the work at their convenience rather than try to listen and offer feedback to each student within a single class period. Do you want to test listening skills? Leave a long greeting message and give them a task about it. For example: Listen to the greeting message and count how many times you hear the word grand in it. Leave a message with that number. OR Listen to the greeting message and count all the fruits mentioned in it. Have students talk about a picture prompt
