Thanks for your great response to our official TOEFL teacher workshops. Our November events in Jeddah and Riyadh are almost completely full, but we are still taking applications from interested teachers—if we can't fit you in now, demand is making it likely we will hold more such workshops soon. (We also welcome statements of interest from teachers outside Jeddah and Riyadh in case we can train elsewhere in the future.) The one-day Propell TOEFL certification workshops help English language teachers provide instructional techniques and strategies for using the integrated-skills approach to teaching language and preparing students for success on TOEFL iBT and in learning English for academic use and the real world. Please contact JGriffin@amideast.org with your interest in attending.

English Language Site of the Month. Wow, video resources galore for educators! Recently updated list from Technosphere gives descriptions of 100+ site sources.

APEC chooses TOEIC. The prestigious Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit will rely on volunteers screened using TOEIC, the gold standard for testing English for business/workplace settings. Read more and learn how you can use TOEIC too.
