New Ball Parks

Do you ever wonder how fans got by in the old baseball stadiums? They were made of all concrete and had little substance or style to them. But in today's day the ball parks are bigger and better than ever before. Not only do they cater to the players, but the fans also get a great atmosphere as well; and isn't this what baseball is all about.

Even though there are some older ball parks left in the league, the majority of teams are moving into the new, updated parks. And believe it or not, these ball parks have a lot to do with how many fans come to the games, as well as what type of players they can attract. When it comes down to it a top quality stadium has much more appeal than simply looking better.

It is safe to say that within the next ten years all of the older ball parks are going to be on their way out. But the funny thing is that by that time some of the newer parks of today will be getting older. For this reason there is always an ever changing atmosphere when it comes to major league baseball ball parks. But this is a good thing; it helps to keep the game fresh at all times.

Overall, the newer ball parks that some of today's teams play in are unbelievable. If you compare these stadiums to the ones of the past there is no competition. Today's stadiums win hands down.

ESL Game - Mixed Up Words

Living in Asia has been the most eye opening experience of my life. I have already had the chance to travel all over Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and China.

Before I left I was just like everybody else... working at a job that had no real growth opportunity, no chance of making big money and an empty feeling within my heart. I didn't know that I was wasting my life away trying to "Be as cool as everyone else." Finally, I just got sick of my everyday life and I took the opportunity to travel to Taiwan to teach English.

To make a long story short...it was the best decision of my life; and when I first arrived in Taiwan I didn't know how I would survive, but I hoped for the best. I very easily found work as an ESL teacher in a school in Taipei, Taiwan.

I was very nervous my first day of school / work. Unluckily, my boss and co workers were not too educated about ESL teaching games. They told me how to play a few...but these were the same games that they had been playing/teaching the students with for years. I quickly learned how to play the games that were taught to me... but I knew that there must be more fun, exciting and motivating games than just these fews.

Luckily, I have stayed in Asia working as an English teacher in Asia for the past five years of my life. I have met a lot of people, been to a lot of places and I learned from so many teachers. Some of the things that I have learned from other ESL teachers are fun and exciting ESL games. This is one of those games:

This ESL Game is called, "Mixed up Words."

This game would be the first game that I would teach a new ESL teacher because this ESL Game is so simple. To play it ~ all you have to do is think of a word. This word can be a word the class has already learned or a new word which you will teach them.

1. Think of the word in your head.

2. Write the word on the blackboard ~ BUT when you write the word; write it in the wrong order.

EX.


  1. ietgr

  2. aihcr

  3. nmadrepsei

  4. orhes

  5. belu

3. Tell the students to write the unscramble the mixed up words ~ and then show you their paper to check the answers. The first five students who finish can win a Gold Star!

Did you figure out the answers?

1. Tiger
2. Chair
3. Spiderman
4. Horse
5. Blue

This ESL Game is probably one of the simplest ESL Games; but it can be more challenging by using harder words. Good luck and enjoy your time teaching English as a Second Language!

Learn Spanish, An Online Game Can Make The Difference

Ok, so you have decided to learn the Spanish language. However, while studying...you noticed something. It is very HARD! No doubt, this beautiful language takes much effort and time to learn to the point where one is fluent.

It takes a little left brain, right brain thinking to advance in the lessons of the Spanish language. A friend of mine spent 6 months committed to learning 10 new words each day. She spent her time memorizing and that is fine for her. She managed to develop quite a vocabulary. But learning should be fun. It should be enjoyable and the carrot and stick approach can work well.

What I mean by carrot and stick is there should be a pay off to the study. I have personally found that a great payoff is practicing the new words learned with a real live Spanish speaking person. If you got your study materials and was diligent about study. That is the stick part, but now you need something to look forward to. There is nothing more fun than joining one of the many online Spanish speaking forums and socializing with Spanish speaking friends.

A smart idea is to incorporate some sort of multi media aspect to your learning materials. There are games that you can get that are picture based and teach pronunciation, so for example, the software flicks up a picture of a guy sitting on a park bench and you must type in the description of same. You get a buzzer sound if you are wrong and a YAY! if you are right.

Another idea is to simply find a few Spanish songs and learn the words by singing along. This makes it a lot easier to make the phrases stick.
