Greetings on June 25, 2013.

In my personal blogs I am reviewing some articles about teaching English to children, especially by music. My English courses are usually for students ages eleven (11) and older. However, sometimes I get younger students or visitors. The insights and practical materials about English and music in the blog articles may help me a lot with these younger students. I especially like the book on nursery rhymes. I may try to use some of them.

I am also reading some blog articles on changes in the English language. I always run into a simpler kind of word usage with my students. My old favorite word "dialogue" is now, more often than not, written as "dialog." I used to go "travelling", but now it seems like everyone goes "traveling." I should not complain too much about these more recent changes; my generation also changed some of the the previous generation's words.

I shall keep you up to date on my personal teaching of English and related things. How are you doing with your use and teaching of English?



Keywords: young students, young English students, spelling changes, English spelling changes

Since I have been affiliated with Chegg, I have had the opportunity to learn about the school assignments of students who come looking for orientation as they struggle to do their homework. My guess is that it is harder to learn, since many formal classes are not in session and much learning has to take place with a strong online component. As I mentioned in the Extracurricular Interests Section on my Chegg Profile page, talking about myself, " Since he is a bookworm (library mouse, in Spa...

Ambrose Powell, native born English speaker and language teacher for more than forty years, first became interested in other languages while studying French in elementary school and junior high school, and added Latin while attending high school.

Apart from these university studies he also learned Spanish and added a little bit more of modern Hebrew. He has made translations into English and Spanish and has worked with both languages even for the purpose of translating legal documents. In order to keep himself up to date in English, while living in Venezuela, he has read and reviewed some books before and after their publication over Amazon, paying special attention to the plots and general development of the main ideas.     This experience s...
