From Dr. Jamshid Ibrahim, Fri, 23 Mar 2012 9:58 am in in the end/at the end
In addition to what David said, see also the difference between: in the beginning /at the beginning. Since the core meaning of preposition (at) is puntual i.e a point in time or space it takes aim. Taking aim with the help of (at) is common with verbs that express aggression compare:

Maybe you can have an alone time with each of the students. Maybe she is shy because she is not that knowledgeable than the other thus the lack of confidence to speak up. Work with them together and them individually. Boost their confidence by encouraging them and to praise them too.

Hi habarimike; just to let you know that "spelt" is incorrect it should be "spelled". "Spelt" is a species of wheat.
From thenewguy, Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:32 am in the -ize agenda
I am not sure if this is the appropriate section of the forum to ask this question, but now that members are talking about -ize, even if in a different context, I would like to ask you about the trouble I am having regarding the word "conditionalize". I can't seem to find its meaning in any dictionary. I would appreciate any message helping me with that. And also while at it, an explanation concerning whatever meaning the word "to quantize" (or quantization) may have will be enormously generous.

Hi, try this one! - A conversation book - Engslish in everyday life by Tina Kasloff Carver, Sandra Douglas Fotinos, there are a lot of pictures and connected vocabulary and it's perfectly suitable for a small conversation group. Moreover, you can use many role plays which might be also fun, good luck!
