New Lesson Section for September 2007

Last month, we launched a new lesson plan section called Traveling-in-English.
Each lesson plan revolves around a travel dialogue, such as making a reservation, going through security, and losing luggage. The first lesson in this series is called Booking a Hotel. Three more new lessons will follow this month.

March 2007
This is our first month since transforming our site from ESL-Images.com to the ESL-Library.com.   We've brought with us all the same great lesson plans and flashcards, and added improved functionality and organization.  Here's a quick look at some of the major enhancements to the site.

My Library
Quickly and easily add lesson plans, flashcards, job postings, and links to your own folders.

Flashcard Library / Flashcard Maker
Now you can easily create your own flashcard sets, and print them in various sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 images per page.  Add titles in English, Spanish, or French, or add your own text below any image.

ESL Job Postings
Employers from around the world now have a spot to post job opportunities to the thousands of teachers and teachers-to-be currently using ESL-Library.com.

TEFL Training Schools
TEFL Training schools now have a place to post their own listings and course descriptions, for teachers looking to build up their teaching skills.
