Great Interactive Website


This next website that I am going to review is really fun and interactive. It is called lapasserelle. This site has lots of different types of quizzes that the learners can take ranging from simple grammar quizzes to quizzes of general knowledge. I think for this reason it would be great for learners of any level. It appears that it has been designed specifically for second language learners who want to improve their English. The best part about this site is that not all of the quizzes are about academics or language skills. Some of the quizzes are designed for fun, so learners that feel confident in their English skills can try them out and have fun using English. This might be very useful for teachers in a pinch if they need a lesson plan quickly and its also great practice for students to do at home on their own.

Tongue Twisters


The first website I am reviewing is 1st International Collection of Tongue Twisters. This website would be best for students in level 2 and up because it does have some easier tongue twisters and some that are more difficult as well. Although this website is not interactive and it has not been designed specifically for ESL students it is still extremely useful. This site is helpful with pronunciation and I used it to help me when I was designing my technique demo. It is very useful because tongue twisters are a fun way to help learn the language. They are great for speaking lessons and they help to bring fun into the classroom. Students can access this site themselves and practice and it might be fun for them to challenge themselves on the harder tongue twisters and work their way up from the easier ones to the harder ones. This website is great because it has tongue twisters from all over the world so the students can share tongue twisters from their country with the other students and their teacher as well. It can also be fun for the students to see their teacher attempt some of the more difficult tongue twisters and it can be fun for the teacher to design a lesson around them too.
