I've already written many reviews about websites for learning how to type. They are quite handy and also teach students a little English keyboarding at the same time - a vital skill.
Here's an addition - Letter Bubbles
It isn't too…

BestWords.me is a really cool, authentic website where students can build vocabulary (adjectives) in a Web 2.0 / interactive fashion. Simple as pie and no registration!
Students just:
1. make a personal "word" page
2. Choose words to describe themselves
3. Share the page with other students (by email or on your class page)…

SoundCloud is a cool idea. Really functions well and enables sharable audio recordings in an attractive "playlist" fashion. (see my presentation "Websites for Speaking Practice" for a list of many more I recommend and have reviewed). Added by EFL Classroom on June 3, 2011 at 7:16pm — No Comments
Corkboard is another writing/posting tool that is very simple and note based - like Wallwisher.
So simple in fact it might be too simple! But the simplicity can only be a foreshadow of great things to come. Just click and leave a note. Share the…

Kids love comics! Any kind, they just devour them. So why not use it as a motivating tool/method in your language classroom? (see a full prior discussion on this topic, in our…

Curriki.org is a wonderful endeavour. It is a place where teachers can share resources and bypass the big monopolization of "content" which many large
publishers hold. I"ve been a member for awhile but haven't looked at the Foreign language directory for a few months. Since then it has grown substantially and I'm thinking of putting our own EFL Classroom 2.0 materials there. Join, click on our pic! and see…

Today, I'd like to introduce 2 fantastic photo editing sites.
Tuxpi is a simple place where students and teachers can quickly do some very dynamic editing of photos with a minimum of work/headache. It is brilliant!
Fodey is much the same and click the top right corner links for many surprising ways to get students…

Smart Choice - Culturally Specific Content.
I'm not a big one for giving publishers promotion - not because I don't believe in textbooks yadda yadda... rather because I think that "profit" should stay away from those things directly concerned with learning and education. However, I understand realities and "good things" when I see them , so I'd like to suggest readers check out Oxford Univ.…

Randall's Cyber Listening Lab is a great site for students to get LOTS of listening practice. All listening activities are leveled from Easy Medium Difficult and Very Difficult and are appropriately leveled in my opinion. A great compliment to our own Listening page.

ELT gamesis a nice "basic" resource site. All the resources are interactive and task based/conversation based. Students must use the information provided to communicate in "real" language terms. The teacher just needs to cut up the materials and distribute and explain (better demonstrate) the task well. I've always been a person who tells all the teachers I train that their best friend isn't a computer, a textbook or even a C.D - it is a pair of… Continue

I'm not a big fan of focusing on words. I'm more a "big picture guy" or for that matter a, "top down person".... However, Wordia, has some great UCC (user created content), videos about many words. You can find a word and listen to someone talk about it. (and this is probably where students will learn the most English!). It is great content for authentic English and I was impressed by the majority of the videos.Added by EFL Classroom on October 26, 2010 at 3:19pm — No Comments

I'm a big fan of video for engaging our learners, especially because so many are "imaginators" or visual learners.Added by EFL Classroom on October 26, 2010 at 3:00pm — No Comments
