Live Chat!

Hi everyone!

I am thinking of holding a live chat hour each week so that you can ask me questions live and get timely feedback during the week and not only on Mondays when I can be at my office at the College. We will have to set a time that will work for everybody.

How it Works!
All you have to do is use the Insight Live Shoutbox! above and chat away! You will be able to ask me questions, read my replies, and I think that you can also drop in on conversations and join me and other students as we converse on a particular subject that might be of interest to you! So watch from a distance and drop a line whenever you feel like it, or when you see someone online! Talk about the assignments at hand and help each other when I am offline!

You can pop-out the Insight Live Shoutbox! to a new (bigger) window by clicking the "pop-out" icon (furthest to the right) under the Live Shoutbox!

The Quality of English During Live Chat!
I will accept internet/text/msn lingo such as "lol", "sup", "u", "r", and "ttyl" (that respectively stand for "laugh out loud!", "what's up?", "you", 'are", and "talk to you later"), etc... I believe that the Live Chat Shoutbox should be used to promote communication in English and these expressions are very contemporary, culturally rich, and a good way to learn the phonetics (sounds!) of a language!

What About Skype Office Hours?
Would holding my office hours on Skype be a good idea as well? Skype is a free online video phone for those of you who didn't know. Downloading the app is free and you can call anyone in the whole world, anytime, for free provided that you have a Skype account, that your computer and the app (the Skype app-lication or program) are turned on!
Any thoughts?


Post your comments about the Insight Live Shoutbox and Skype Office hours and let me know what your think about it, honestly.
