I got an assignment to tutor a Korean student:
he is in Gr.IX
he is smart
he is quiet
he needs varied materials
he is interested in architecture
I searched for architecture terminology on line, but could not find any specific website.
Does anybody know any useful URL please?
Thanks in advance!

How about the following website:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/
There's a glossary included, and the words are used in context.
The videos are excellent, too.

Thanks, Kate.
It's fun for me, too, full of stuff I always wanted to learn.
I even got non-English teachers to show the English videos in class, something that I'd never thought possible, because after all, their English is a good deal rustier than the students' and it took quite some self-confidence on their part to let themselves in for an experiment like that.
These teaching aids have been an enormous asset to me.
