About the Class

The companion blog for this class can be found here: www.ESLdogMillionaire.blogspot.com
This is an experimental class series for IELTS listening practice. It is based on the "Who wants to be a millionaire" TV game shows. All attendees can participate in a passive role to improve their English listening skills.
Active participants (those who are the featured contestant) must do the following:
Arrive on time to test their microphone
Have a good Internet connection speed
Have a headset

Preference will be given to the following:
Have a team that is physically present with you
Have a webcam with minimum 500KBpS connection (5MBpS)


There will be three levels of contestants

  • 1 beginner (children are welcome in this category)
  • 2 intermediate
  • 3 advanced
This class/game is meant to have fun. If you have a bad attitude or cannot enjoy the learning experience, please do not become a featured contestant.
PS George tends to tease and partake in friendly banter. But sometimes he becomes rather intense. This is important as one of the additional goals (beyond practicing English) is to desensitize the contestants of their fears of performance during testing situations.
PPS Please help by locating and suggesting source materials for our games. We also would appreciate any help you would like to offer this could even include becoming a host, producer, and even something simple like providing music background like a real gameshow would have.

Profile Summary

We do not need "them", we only need each other.

This group of pilgrims called "The Edupunk" are seeking a new paradigm for online learning. We hold to several core principals:
1. All can teach, all should teach
2. Mistakes and willing to risk mistakes are much prefered over the false goal of perfection.
3. Fun activities and gaming are not only more engaging, they are the key to a sustainable model for learning... anything.
4. Live interaction and group activities create the basis for deep and experiential learning.
5. Accountability and competition is the basis of our community. We build and only associate with leaders who can recognize that they and every member have knowledge to share.
