This speech by President John F. Kennedy is a sad reminder of what the United States was like in 1963 when we were trying to integrate colleges, universities, and life in general.
It is also a sorry reminder of the status of women back then. We weren't even mentioned!! Also, I think if you replace the word negroes with gays, lesbians or queers, you will realize that some people still don't have the equal rights. How about the right to marry the person of your choice? It seems pretty obvious that we still have work to do before all people are equal.

It has been too long
Hi,
It has been way too long since I have posted an entry. I am done with school for the summer, and I'm on vacation from one of my three jobs. So, it's time to start writing and posting information again. Here is a link to an online journal that may be of interest to ESL instructors and other language teachers. It's called The Journal of the Imagination in Language Learning. I think the journal may be ceased, but there are some interesting articles available at this link

Teaching ESL
As you can see, I have only had time lately to post links to other interesting sites. I have been so busy with my graduate course in teaching ESL, I haven't really had time to write any original blog entries. My class will end soon, and I'm not taking any courses this summer, so I'll have lots of time to write. I've been working on the course for several hours today. In addition to writing the final paper, I have read an interesting study on the problems caused when Arab students use e-dictionaries to translate passages.
If any of you are studying English as a Second Language, I'd love your comments on what you think is helpful and what is difficult for you.
Since there seems to be some interest in this topic, the article is: "Impact of E-dictionaries on Arab students' translation strategies," by Abdul-Fattah Al-Jabar. It's in Volume 54 Issue 2 of Babel.
