Hi Larry,
Thanks for the comment on the Scientific American article by Dweck. Let me know if you get any comments or questions--I'll be using the article in a teachers' discussion. So far I'm finding that a lot of teachers like her articles a lot, and some strongly dislike them (thinking it's so much ranting about what is fairly simple and obvious). Me--I like Dweck tremendously and continue to learn a lot from her work. Mindset (one of her books) is a straightforward read, a bit popularized, perhaps. Self Theories is a more in-depth look at the topic.

I just wanted to say how much I've always appreciated your work for EFL/ESL and I've used lots of what you've recommended. Thanks.
I teach teachers in Seoul, Korea and as part of that, have been trying to instill "community" into them and also give them the practical resources that L2 speaking teachers need.
You mentioned karaoke and I've been writing / giving workshops on this for 2 years. Great tool and not just for music! I do stories, podcasts, news reports etc...You can see some at my resource collection site www.ddd.batcave.net You'll need to download the player I use (after much research - this is the best and FREE around) www.karafun.com I have a screencast there to, if others are interested in making karaoke files. www.ksolo.com also has a good site but yeah, I prefer www.singshot.com when refering students.
Or you might come and join some of our discussions on my own ning - eflclassroom.ning.com .
Larry, I bumped into your blog while doing an information scan. I knew I recognized your name....please, consider adding my ed tech news and resources blog to your teachers' page.
