Welcome to Everyone at the Leicester International Study Centre

Hi - I'm Dan and this blog is for anyone interested in using computers and the internet to practice their English.

I hope you find some of the ideas and links useful. Let me know what you think and feel free to send in suggestions.

First of all, I'll tell you a bit about me. As you know (I hope!), I'm an English teacher. It's a really cool job because you get to meet people from all over the world.

Before I started working at Leicester, I was in Tripoli in Libya. I had a great year helping to set up a new college. It's a really beautiful country (though the desert gets a bit boring) and the people are really friendly.


This is my friend Tarik. We went to see Libya and Ghana in a World Cup Qualifying match. Amazingly Libya won 1-0. As you can see Tarik was getting very nervous in the last 5 minutes!








This is Bashir, one of my old students. He's the first one to dive. This was on a trip to Brighton. I don't recommend trying this!



Finally I'd like to recommend a website for improving your English. You probably know this one already... it's the BBC Learning English website. There's loads to explore on this one. If you don't know it have a look around and then let me know what you think.
