Online Guide To Learning English at esl.fis.edu
This site was originally created for students and teachers at Frankfurt International School.
primary aim of the site is to provide resources that will help grade 6-12 ESL students in English-language schools learn English as effectively and enjoyably as possible. The site, therefore, contains advice and activities that are of direct use to the students themselves; but it also contains information for their parents and mainstream teachers on what they should know and can do to facilitate the learning process. The site also contains hundreds of quiz pages (grammar, vocabulary, reading) that will be of use to anyone learning English in whatever situation.

The purpose of this website is to guide learners of English in effective and enjoyable ways of improving their language ability.

There are many pages of information and advice about language learning, as well as hundreds of exercises in all aspects of English.

Teachers and parents have special responsibilities in guiding school-age English language learners. They too will find much of interest in these pages.

Contemplative Questions

Here is a set of questions that would provoke you and put you through some soul searching. They are not about religion nor about ethics. They are merely about you.

They are not meant to serve as solutions nor are they meant to lead you anywhere. These questions are meant to serve as tools to discovering yourself.

1) Do you perceive the Presence of a benevolent force guiding, protecting and shaping your life? What name do you give that Presence? When did you best feel this Presence?

2) What is your opinion of God? Is your opinion drawn from religion, books, parents and or your personal experience of life?

3) Do you pray? Do they get answered? How often?

4) Do you think it is possible to relate to the Divine? What relationship would you opt?

5) Here is a story for you - Two fierce enemies once did a penance to placate god and receive boons vying with each other. God appeared to the first man and asked what he wanted. He said "give me twice of whatever you give my enemy". Then God appeared to the second one. Even before God could say anything he asked, "God, would you please tell me what my enemy asked for? On knowing his prayer request, he said, "then God, blind me in one eye."
Now what would you wish for yourself, your best friend and your worst enemy if God gave you a chance?

6) Have you ever experienced a coincidence or chance that seems to have involved so many people and factors that you can't stop wondering if a mastermind was behind this operation? If yes, do you savour the experience often and have you shared it with someone close to you?
