The Art of Lurking

WOW! I have just discovered a great new blog for myself and my students: it is called:Think and Dream in English. It offers tons of new ideas and examples that we will be able to incorporate into our lessons.Just click on URL address on the top at your right. Here is a six minute video from that blog on how to best learn the Present Perfect tense....and there is - built into it - wahrscheinlich unbemerkt - a glitch...the demonstrating teacher is first using present perfect regular and then without notice he switches to the present perfect continuous!! That can of course be quite confusing to the learner! So - there are new resources out there on the Web - and yet: we need to be careful and cautious.
