		<description><![CDATA[Blogging is an amazing thing. The other day I got a message via my blog from an author whose book I had bought as a Christmas present for my father a few years back. His name is Adam Jacot de Boinod and the book in question was The Meaning of Tingo. His new book, The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a recent absent-minded surf of the web, I came across Wordie. Wordie is the kind of site after my own heart. Its tagline is &#8220;Like Flickr but without the photos&#8221;. Wordie allows you to make lists of words and people can add, comment or vote on them. An hour or so wasted there yielded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A palindrome is a word or sentence that can be read the same way frontwards or backwards. An example of a palindrome word would be &#8220;tenet&#8221; or &#8220;civic&#8221;. It gets more interesting (and fun) with sentences though. Here are six nice ones, and an idea on how to use these in class.     1. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found this list in the October 2008 English Language Teaching Journal. It&#8217;s based on the ten million word spoken section of the British National Corpus. The research was done by Dongkwang Shin and Paul Nation, two experts in applied linguistics from Victoria University in Wellington. To know all the ins-and-outs of how they got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a useful list for learners. I usually go through a list like this with a class at the beginning of a new course and ask them to suggest other ways. Then, as homework, you can give them a list of words and ask them to experiment with a different way of trying to remember [...]]]></description>
