I've traveled to over 45 countries and I've almost three years in other countries.  What can we learn from each other?

I've developed a pronunciation system called "It Sounds Like" and I hope people will avoid using IPA (backwards C, a+e, upside-down V).  Let's talk!   Write to freeEnglishLessons@gmail.com.   My Orkut and Facebook accounts are both linked to FreeEnglishLessons@gmail.com.

I
am a teacher in a school in Fort Lauderdale. 

I have written some articles for Teacher Training -- look for them here.

My student Novin in Iran created this format for an online newspaper or magazine.  You are invited to contact him and ask your students to submit article to his publication.



Students can create an ONLINE magazine to practice English


Infrastructure Program

Preface

This paper shows the exact program for publishing carousel’s E-Mag. Sources, Timing, authorities & contents are defined as well as possible. The thing haven’t paid attention here is “how to do”. It’s been talked in another paper perfectly.
Attention: carousel is a group at Simin (Pegah) which has got different objects to do. At the moment the most important project is carousel magazine which is defined as emag.
This magazine is not a printing one. Texts will be published on computer formats and will be shared on the internet. In this way everyone can use this magazine for free. Next to emag activities we may go for a printing version in each season or each every couple of months. In this printing version we will store our special jobs.

E.M@G. Sources Program

As a group we must supervise on carousel things. “We are the control unit”. Source is the basic infrastructure part of our job. There are three different sources to use: Teachers, students and the internet. Teachers give us the best writings and projects of their students and Students give us help by their direct relation with emag team. The internet could be the easiest way for extracting any info. Remember that we do not copy things into our magazine. Materials used in emag could be inspired by outer sources (like the internet).
For this part of the job
an accurate program to use sources efficiently is required.

Timing& Schedule

All along summer carousel group is going to publish three version of this magazine. The table in the next column shows this schedule. This magazine supposed to be a monthly magazine.
