Contando Vidas: Telling Life Stories...

I've noticed in teaching ESL students that they really respond to biographies about successful immigrants to this country. My classes are composed of students from countries all over the world, with many language backgrounds, but I do have a number of hispanics in that mix. I found your topic very intresting, as I'm writing my own unit on using digital recording in the ESL language classroom. My students will be using digital voice recorders to to interviews inside and outside the classroom. Gracias por su trabajo!
