Hi, everybody,

I'm glad to be in touch with you again.

The old LIANETWORK has become E1-network and you can visit us HERE.

From now on we'll be in conact via the website and Newsletter.

I'm planning to offer some free workshops for teachers so we'll have an opportunity to get together and share our knowledge and experience.

You'll be able to practice your English and learn modern and effective teaching techniques in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere. Major areas covered will depend on participants's needs but may include:

1. Advanced language practice
2. Development of oral fluency
3. Expansion of Vocabulary
4. Grammatical Review
5. Pronunciation with emphasis on connected speech
