Дополнительная информация к учебнику Enjoy English для 11 класса

[Любомира]

Уважаемые коллеги!

Спешу поделиться новым созданным каталогом дополнительной информации к учебнику Enjoy English для 11 класса. Наверное, не все из того, что нашла в интернете к этому учебнику, смогу сейчас сама использовать на уроках, т.к. информации очень много, а времени как всегда не хватает уложить все необходимое и интересное в формат урока. Ну ничего, пригодится на будущее...

Может быть и вам, уважаемые коллеги, что-то из этой информации пригодится.
