#7 - Create Your Own SL Tour

The topic that I chose to create my tour was resources for Languages. I thought this topic would be easy, but it wasn't. Choosing this topic showed me two things.

1.- SL is full Language institutes. I think this is good if you want to take language courses online, because it permits to practice oral skills in save environment. The problem is in the majority of them, you must pay. I don't know if this is good or bad.

2.- SL is lack resources for ESL/EFL. I think this is a bad point. Most of the resources in second life are in English, so you need some training in this language first in order to really enjoy it. I think SL could be the major center for practice English if EFL/ESL teacher use it.

After this little reflection about SL and ESL/EFL, here are my places.

Enjoy them!
