Ways to contribute to Easy English Times
How can you participate in Easy English Times?

We always appreciate receiving stories about "my hometown," "my first day in the U.S.A.," "what learning English means to me" or "my job." In addition to the writing topics requested each month on the Learning Activities page, you can contribute in the following ways:

1. Send us a letter to the editor
   Letters should be less than 300 words (longer letters may have to be edited for space considerations). Letters are welcome on any topic of current interest.
2. Write a guest editorial
   Guest editorials should also be limited in length. They should state an issue or concern, present facts or supporting ideas, and reach a conclusion or end with a "call to action."
3. Interview someone interesting. Send us a photo with the story.
4. See a movie or video suitable for families and which can be understood with limited English comprehension. Send us your review of the film.
5. Visit an interesting place and write about that place. Photos welcome.

We love to get photos of individual students, classes or class projects. Photos can be sent on email but please do not send them in a word document. Photos should be sent as an attachment.
Hard copy photos can also be sent and can be returned.
