blogging contest

We are holding a blogging contest this week! The winning blog/blogger(s) will be announced on Friday, July 16, during the awards ceremony at Hannah's. The purpose of the blog is to document the group’s overall experience at UNT in terms of:

• Campus life
• Impression of classes and workshops
• Self-reflection of English progress
• Denton
• Dallas and Fort Worth excursions

The winning blog will be linked to UNT and UAEM websites in order to promote the program for 2011. While there may be variation in content of posts, the finished product should provide a fairly in-depth image of the LTC Intensive English experience. Every group member must post at least once per day in order for the blog to qualify for the competition!

So far, we have the following blogs for the contest:

• Beginner Class - http://carltiosguey.blogspot.com/
• Intermediate Class - http://ltcenglish.blogspot.com/2010/06/intermediate-class-blogs.html
• Advanced Class - http://untadvancedclass.blogspot.com/
• C2 ESL Credit Class - http://c2class.blogspot.com/
• Teacher Class - http://unetteam.blogspot.com/

If you have a personal blog that is not listed above and you'd like to participate in the contest, please email the URL of your blog to Lisa at lisarenejeon@gmail.com or submit it in the comments section as soon as you can. Judging will continue all week until Friday. Happy blogging!

volunteer info

Conversation Groups

These will be formed the first few days of classes. Group size will depend on the number of students that are interested in participating in conversation groups. They will be organized by levels (Chip has beginner, Shannon has intermediate, Lindy has advanced, Kelly has intermediate advanced). Conversation Leaders will set up a regular time to meet with them depending on their availability. Conversation groups will have to take place outside of class time, so at lunch break, 12-2 p.m. or after 5 p.m. In the past, some Conversation Leaders would go to lunch with them or dinner (Bruce Hall cafeteria). 

Teaching Assistants

Teaching Assistants will also be assigned during the first few days of class. Teachers will have designated time slots during classes and workshops when student teaching can be included. I will send out a list of available time frames and volunteers can sign up for their preferred slot.

Entertainment Assistants

Entertainment Assistants should show up for all activities that they can come to and can even plan some outings of their own if they want. We currently need a few volunteers for the Fourth of July festivities and fire works show at Fouts Field on Saturday, July 3. Activities start at 5:30 p.m. and end around 10 p.m. Volunteers will welcome the students, answer any questions, help them get acclimated, and of course have some fun themselves. The full entertainment menu will be available by Monday and volunteers can sign up for their preferred activities and time frames.

Volunteers--If you have any questions or want to submit your availability/preferences, feel free to contact Lisa. This is a huge program; we need our volunteers and are very grateful to everyone who has agreed to help out!
