News.com.au | News Online from Australia and the World | NewsComAu Immigrant earnings ‘a failure’ - Göteborg Daily Refugees and other immigrant groups are finding it hard to establish themselves in the labour market, even after 10 years in Sweden, suggests a report from daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The newspaper followed the progress of nearly 15,500 immigrants of working age who received permanent residency in 2004 and are still registered in Sweden. After ten years, those who came here as refugees earned a median wage of only 11,100 kronor per month - less than half the figure for the entire population. Another group who had problems establishing themselves were those who came here to be with relatives. Olof Åslund, professor and director general of the Institute for the Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy, thinks the results for these two groups are problematic: “It’s a failure when so many people have difficulties gaining stable employment and being self-sufficient.
Tiny Texts | Read, listen & learn a littleEnglish Recension av Phrasal Verbs Machine - Kan verbpartiklar vara roliga att lära sig? Användningsområden Att lära sig verbpartiklar tycker jag påminner lite om att lära sig propositioner eftersom dessa är svåra att lära sig på ett nytt språk för att de ofta inte följer ett speciellt mönster. Exempel på verbpartiklar på svenska är ”titta på” och ”se efter” med betoningen på det sista ordet. I ”Phrasal Verbs Machine” lär man sig verbpartiklarnas fraser med hjälp av korta animerade filmer. Anledningen till att appen kallas maskin är för att den liknar en gammaldags verkstadsmaskin. Appen har ett visningsläge. Appen har också ett träningsläge där det omvända sker. Det är inte alltid lätt att visa något utan tal eller skrift men jag tycker att animationerna är förvånansvärt bra och lättförståeliga. Funktioner Undervisningens syfte En Kunskaper i engelska språket och kunskaper om områden och sammanhang där engelska används samt tilltro till sin förmåga att använda språket i olika situationer och för skilda syften. En Utveckla en allsidig kommunikativ förmåga.
Extreme Photo of the Week Photograph by Mike Schirf “I love the skiing down the best, but I don't love the skinning up,” says 11-year-old Lilliana Libecki, seen here with her dad, Mike, on their recent sailing-skiing expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula in front of Paradise Bay and a colony of Gentoo penguins. It was Lilliana’s very first expedition with her dad, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Expeditions Council grantee, and veteran of 50-some remote expeditions. “I will never ever forget the skiing and icebergs and how curious and unafraid the penguins were,” Liliana says. “It was so marvelous.” When Mike returned from Antarctica in 2008 with photos of skiing and snowboarding on the continent, Lilli, then five years old, was inspired. “Finally when she was old enough, she started training for this goal in the backcountry and worked so hard to make this dream come true,” Mike says.
Breaking News English Lessons: Easy English News | Current Events A Five-Minute Activity to Bring Music into the Classroom Wouldn’t you like to be listening to the latest hit on the radio and find out that you are able to understand the lyrics?Wow!!! Don’t you, every now and then, sing along even though you can only remember some of the words from the chorus and you don’t have the slightest clue about what it means? But time flies and the course is short and even though I feel listening to a song can be as good as doing a traditional listening comprehension exercise the truth is that dedicating 20 minutes to a song never seems to fit into my lesson plan . The idea is to bring music into the class as often as possible but without this activity taking too much time off my lessons. In this song , we focus on the verb “to try” ♥Orally introduce the word you want students to learn by giving examples and asking them to infer the meaning. ♥Choose a song that contains the word or words you want to teach ♥Crop the video with ,for example, tubechop; remember you don’t want to play the whole song .
