English Language Site of the Month. Wow! TESL Internet Journal has a list with links to over 10,000 sites for English language learners and English language teachers, categorized in areas from business English sites to sites with learning games or teacher handouts.

Is Saudi education giving students a false sense of English proficiency? A recent editorial in the Saudi Gazette argues that poor assessment has become a major problem, while discussing the importance of having a real knowledge of the English language. We suggest Saudi educators use a standardized test such as the TOEIC tests for students in engineering, business, and technical fields and TOEFL ITP Assessments for students in the humanities to gain a more complete knowledge of their students' skills and track their learning progress. Contact us to get started.
