UNICEF's Voices Of Youth

UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund) has developed a new World Wide Web site called Voices of Youth. The function of this site is to give young people the opportunity to share ideas and action they may have taken targeting important global issues facing them.

Please would you help us by publicizing Voices of Youth on networks of which you are a part. Also, if you have some contact with young people, please would you ask them to help us test the site by going on and responding to it - at the moment go to the Meeting Place, and go to the response section under each topic. They can email me with comments if they would like to do so.

Thank you for your anticipated help.

http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/web.pages/grammarsafari.html
LinguaCenter Grammar Safari
Students of English who limit their study of grammar to what they find in grammar books are like naturalists who limit their study of nature to an encyclopedia. Once you leave the safe confines of the grammar books, you begin to learn all kinds of interesting things about the way English is used. It isn't easy; in fact, it's a jungle out there.

Grammar books tend to make things fairly simple and there is some value in that. Nevertheless, for the serious student of English, it's worthwhile also to broaden your horizons and explore the jungle out in the real world. The World Wide Web (WWW) is an excellent place to begin experiencing English as it occurs in its natural surroundings--not only are there millions of English texts readily available, but also most of them can be electronically searched for those elusive yet fascinating English grammar structures.

The "grammar safari" activities suggested here are just that, suggestions for "hunting" and "collecting" EXAMPLES of specific words as they are used in documents accessible to anyone on the WWW -- a vast, ever-growing, always up-to-date "corpus" of language ranging over an inexhaustible range of topics, geographic areas, and users.
**Interesting ways to study grammar.
