We now have QualityTime-ESL Podcasts to review English grammar (about 10 minutes long), ideal for international exams and university students or anyone wanting to speak correct English and ready to invest the time to do oral exercises.
We also have "Your English" podcasts where you repeat and complete simple sentences with a view to learning vocabulary.
The first podcasts (with drills) are easy and are intended for ESL STUDENTS WHO STILL FEEL BLOCKED when communicating. Very soon they become far more challenging.
The meaning of the term: QualityTime-ESL
"QualityTime" is an allusion to a term which is often used by Americans to refer those precious moments we spend with our children when they are growing up. Many of us are busy parents with full time jobs, but we know it is not the amount of time you spend with your kids that counts but rather the quality of that time. If you devote quality time to your children, they will profit to the utmost. Short periods of "intense relationship" are often the most valuable. The same goes for teaching in my opinion, especially ESL teaching. ESL stands for English as a Second Language. It is not the number of hours that counts, but rather the quality of that teaching. I believe that ESL teaching can be very effective. In others words you can improve immensely in just a few hours or days depending on the circumstances.
