儿童外语学习软件获国际英语联合会大奖 THE "fun, vital and visually exciting" Space Search (a CD ROM for 9-10 year olds) has won the English Speaking Union (ESU) President's Award 2006. The judging panel described Space Search as "taking children to new imaginary worlds and allowing them to engage in learning through exploration whilst accommodating different learning styles and preferences." Space Search is a recent addition to a set of language teaching materials and it is designed to provide reinforcement language work using "story projects", which are based on stories that children can dramatize together. ESU is a British charity founded in 1918 to promote "international understanding and friendship through the use of the English language". 美国世界英语教师协会新增求职招聘服务 TEACHERS of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), the leading English teachers' association in the United States, joins the webpage with the launch of its first online job service last month.
