Why an online
newsletter?
Most people like to choose what they read and no one likes
SPAM. This is the reason for an online newsletter. Reading a
newsletter should be YOUR CHOICE and not something forced
upon you every time you check your inbox to read your email.
This newsletter will be updated periodically with site
changes and relevant English language news so check back
often. |
 Updated

 Who
am I?
Many of you already know me but for those of you who don't,
my name is Howie Hayman and I'm the owner and general
manager of Fun Easy English. I've been teaching English to
international students for 18 years now, both publicly and
privately. Back in 2003, I made an English language site
called the International EFL Cafe. The intent was to make a
site that catered to both students and teachers. As time
went on, the need for a new domain, site design, and site
name became more evident. In 2006, the site name was changed
to Fun Easy English and the site was completely redesigned. The site
now contains over 57,000 files and almost 70,000
internal and external links. What does
this mean for you? Plenty of material you can use in your
classes. You may use information from this site, provided
you follow the copyright guidelines. Read our

Teach
culture - Miyuki's story
Miyuki was attending a small but very popular community
college in San Diego, California. She went to class one
morning and was amazed to see her teacher was drinking
alcohol during class. She thought, "Do all American teachers
have the freedom to drink and possibly get drunk during
class?" I met her in the cafeteria around noon and she
seemed very disturbed. All she kept saying was, "This would
never happen in Japan." I asked her to explain and she
revealed that her teacher was drinking beer in class. When I
asked her what kind of beer, she said, "Root Beer." This is a
true story and a good example of what can happen when
students are uninformed about cultural aspects of the
country in which they're studying. |
