Hello Everyone,
This week was a busy one for me at least. I had finished reading the three articles. I
explored some of the websites listed on the course website under "Websites
to Explore."
My
first site is www.breakingnewsenglish.com
·
Breaking News English
http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/
This site also has some listening activities. It provides a full series (11 pages) of activities to use offline, including pre- and post- activities, pair and group work, vocabulary building, and more.

What I
liked about this site is : It is free, ready to print, comprehensive and
it can be easily used to develop the four skills. What I liked best was the
listening section with 5-speed also reading with Different levels of speed. I
think my students will love this web site .
The second one is www.ManyThings.org
Interesting Things for ESL Students, why I liked simply because it is A Website for studying English as a Second Language and another thing there are applications that suits my students especially the e-class ( the ones who are using i-pad) http://www.manythings.org/ipad/listen/
Another good site is:

There are a lot of quizzes, tests, exercises and puzzles to help students learn English as a Second Language
Daily Page for ESL/EFL Teachers
http://iteslj.org/daily/.This page allows teachers to have an easy-to-use startup page and helps teachers keep up with what's new on the ESL/EFL Web.

for reading passages,but know I have other useful sites.
Once I finished the discussion task ,I
started writing the lesson plan a technology-enhanced Grammar lesson plan .
Then I started to think of a new technology tool for helping my students to
improve their listening skill ,I think if they can listen and understand ,then
it will be easier to them to speak and communicate.I hope they will improve
when listening daily to http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/
Really I am grateful To D. Donna and
to our guest moderator Jodi Weber ,to all of you. Each day I am learning
something new, something useful for me as a teacher and useful also to my
students.

Very well said. You are absolutely right the way you qualified those fantastic websites. I usually refer to them as Gold Mines. All the four skills are integrated and a lot of extra material is presented in very motivating manners for the tech generations we are dealing with these days. We will never run out of material as long as these sites are running and free.

Hi Enam,
ReplyDeleteWe are all here to learn, and so far this goal has been accomplished and how!!!
"Gold mines", "Pearls" as I also call them, they are really a must for a language teacher. Variety and quality for us and our students.
