The resources on the MLL Student Links page (the default home page in the lab) have been updated and reorganized. There's a lot of great stuff for everybody here. Take a look soon.

The main categories of linked resources:


General Reference (encyclopedias, Nexis, finance info., demographic, etc.)
Dictionaries (native, ESL, translation, pronunciation, etc.)
Audio & Video Sources (free streaming audio and video, activities, etc.) *new
ESL Activities (for listening, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing)
Boston Stuff (local info., museums, historical sites, etc.)
Practice Tests (grammar, vocabulary, TOEFL, etc.)
CELOP Teachers (indiv. teacher pages)

In addition, the section to the right of these links now displays an RSS feed (automatic text display from another source) of this CELOP TECH blog, which is the new and only news source for CELOP and MLL technology updates.

Please let us know if you would like to add any resources to this page.

CELOP Technology Workshops—Summer 2008

We're putting together three practical workshops to help faculty and staff work with some of the new technology we have available at CELOP. These sessions will combine demonstration, hands-on practice, and Q&A. Please bring questions for us and tips for your colleagues. Based on the response we get, we may schedule more sessions. Session materials and links will also be available on the MLL Tutorials page.


All sessions will take place at 1:30 in MLL 257. No food or drink in the labs please.
