BESL Online

Welcome to Business ESL Online!

We will share this blog as our class learning space. Here you will contribute to our weekly topics and find information on readings and resources. Because you are working people I would not require your comments to extend beyond 2-3 paragraphs. However, each posting should reflect tangible internalization of the topic or the materials for study. In a typical response you may summarize key ideas of our reading for the week, or quote a key sentence and say how it relates to your growing grammatical awareness. Requirements for a new lesson will be posted each week and guidelines will be included for your response.

Welcome again. Let's begin!

Lesson 1
One of your assignments this week is to familiarize yourself with our required course materials which will be found at http://www.english-the-easy-way.com/
Post a comment below about these learning materials using the following guidelines:
1. Tell a classmate how easy or difficult it was for you to navigate the site and how the site is organized. How many categories? How many links? What do the column headings tell you about main concept used in organizing the grammar elements?

2. Tell a classmate the elements you are looking forward to studying most and why.

3. On the website the words "English Grammar Books" lead to an well-known online bookstore. Tell a classmate how to find this bookstore and what reference text you think it might be most useful to buy.
