Ending a Conversation naturally takes a little practice! In our latest Conversation Phrases video, students learn and practice useful expressions and reduced pronunciation for natural closings. We recommend exploring this target after the video lesson on greetings: Starting a Conversation. 

Are you cheering for your team or watching your wager? In this latest Discussion Starters lesson (Int), students read about the rise in popularity of online sports gambling. Learners review comparative adjectives and discuss the effects of increased betting on fans, players, and professional sports. 

Our next CASAS practice test, Listening STEPS Level A, is now available on digital. This assessment is designed for true beginners. It focuses on high-frequency vocabulary, following simple conversations, and listening for key details. (Printable version coming soon!) Revised printable versions of Reading STEPS A and Reading STEPS B containing real photos and authentic CASAS assessment format are now available.

At Ellii, we do our best to keep up with the news, but this is one topic that keeps changing on the fly! President Trump may have delayed tariffs on Canada and Mexico again, but your ELs can still learn useful information and academic vocabulary from this week's lessons (Low Int, Int, Adv) featuring content from The Associated Press. A related explainer video about tariffs is also available in our Media Gallery.

The challenges of moving to an English-speaking country involve much more than learning a language. Adjusting Abroad is a new Study Pack designed specifically for high-level newcomers dealing with a variety of issues, including culture shock, financial uncertainty, and multigenerational living.
