Mod 6: RSS Feeds

I found an inspiring and interesting blog called English with Rosa Among all the posts, I am especially interested in a current post with a video clip, Football Players Also Learn English , she shared with the audience about what two famous Spanish football players, Iker Casillas and Pepe Reina do for leisure activities. Rosa’s comments and the video clip remind me of a Taiwanese tennis player: Lu Yen-hsun His efforts to make him become the first Taiwanese player to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam, and the first man from Asia to reach the quarter-finals at a major in fifteen years. Of course, as a national player from Taiwan, Lu not only practices his skills for tennis but also his English as best as he can. These efforts of his all show that making people notice him and Taiwan needs both continuous practice in order to catch up with other top-notch international players and a good faculty of English to communicate with people around the world. I think no matter which country you are from, being able to communicate with people around the world is very important. Therefore, as a teacher, we need to teach our students that English is not just a school subject but a tool to connect you to the world.  All in all, I enjoyed the post Rosa wrote and I am looking forward to receiving more instructive and interesting RSS feeds from her!
