Recently you may have heard the words ‘City People’ mentioned by teachers and other LanguageLab staff and students. If you have been reading this blog carefully, you will have seen several references to them.
You may be a seasoned City People user, or you may not have the faintest idea who they are and what we are talking about
when we mention them. Either way this weekly series of blogs is designed to help you find out more about the City People
and more specifically, how you can use them to help improve your English.
Before I start my introductions (one City Person character per week) I’d like to say a little more about myself.
My name is Sally Langer but I am also known by my Avatar’s name, Salsita Almendros. I am a qualified English teacher
and you can read more about my profile on our teacher’s profile page.
Aside from teaching formal English lessons at
Language Lab I also work with the City People to ensure that the activities they do will help our students to practice
speaking English.
You can read a short summary about the City People and what they do here,
but for more detailed information and up dates
keep an eye out for my weekly blog. If you have any questions or thoughts about the City People please leave them in the
comments.
Next week my first focus will be on Languagelab’s very own resident actor Pebbles Kronfeld who has been hosting a series of activities
in which students have had the opportunity to practice their English while learning about an important element of British culture. |
