I have started another blog specifically for my ESL students at Lado. It is called Learning English. Most of it contains specific course information, but sometimes I offer advice that is relevant to this blog. Yesterday I wrote about using the New York Times to improve one’s word power. Please see TOEFL Reading Comprehension.

The New York Times definitely helps a lot! I love reading it because you can find anything in there, so at least something will perk your interest!
Every week, also, I get the NYT movies and books review directly in my e-mail, which makes it even easier
