Class video of Farmer's Market discussion

Our class met at the Farmer's Market at the Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago today. The students interviewed and photographed different vendors and found that some were friendlier than others. In this video Noon (in the role of "Paris Hilton") interviews Song and Noi about their experience at the Farmer's Market. Mond, who didn't want to appear on camera, joins the discussion in the guise of a pair of talking sneakers (aka "Mr. Sneaker-Head").

SIELI summer 2007 first recordings.

Hi everyone!  This is my first blog entry for our summer 2007 SIELI class.  We're experimenting with creating and posting sound files for our Speaking and Listening ESL class.  I've recorded an introduction, and I also recorded pronunciation examples of some of the words we practiced in class today.  I hope you enjoy these recordings.
