Thank you for participating in this videoconference. I look forward to hearing from you as you expand and enhance the use of the Internet with adult English language learners in your classes. I also hope you will send me ideas, activities, and URLS you've found useful, so we can share them with other adult ESL practitioners.
Mahalo.
