Susanna thank you very much for the link. I could use this in my own class and my student really like it. It contains exercises, reading, new vocabulary. Really thank you

there are a lot of exercises which enhance reading as well as accelerates writing. I gave this activity to my students and they did it with pleasure, especially those who have pets, particularly dogs in their families. Appropriate to be assigned as classwork and as homework.

I have tried this activity with my group of advaned learners, and it was really efficient, as they are used to learn the words through glossaries.Besides,it helped to enhance their vocabulary adding some new words with their definitions.

This activity is good for teaching sports and hobbies. It helps students play with the words categorize them according indoor/outdoor activities. I tried this activity with my EEC students. They worked on it as a group and it was productive. There were several new words on the worksheet that we did not cover, I asked the students to guess whether they were indoor or outdoor activities and they succeeded. The students got motivated because I told them it is a competition, and it worked. As a result I got from all four groups right answers;-)

I piloted this game with my EEC students after we learned some new vocabulary concerning food subject. The learners were very fond of the activity as it was both visual and involved technological interference.

A good activity to test the learners' awareness of the tenses.

This is a really cool activity that helps improve your typing skills of English. I tried it myself and it really helps. Also during your learning process when you get more and more familiar with it you can change the level by following the web site and try out new things. I suggest you try this activity with the students who are learning the alphabet. It will be really interesting for them because it involves both technology and learning.

Another listening activity is TO FIND THE PET THAT FITS. Thus, the pupil is supposed to listen to the activity carefully and then click on the right animal. I tried again on my little sister but she got a bit disappointed because there were words not familar to here and she lost scors because of that. But I am sure this was a nice chance to learn new words about animals. When she finished she said: " I had never seen such a fat dog in my life". But in this case she did not say DOG in Armenian but in English.

A very nice listening activity. Good opportunity to teach your students in preschool vocabulary concerning picnic, toys, fruit and etc. By the way this gane was awarded as a good game for kids.

Alice is a bot (robot) with A.I. (artificial intelligence). You can chat with her, and she'll speak back to you. She never gets bored or tired of talking with you. She can answer math questions, tell you where most countries are and what their capitals are,and she even knows a few pretty funny jokes. She at times makes mistakes, but overall performs very well. She can understand you a lot better if you type carefully. Your students can chat with Alice to practice English, but they have to try to type and spell carefully. They need to take their time, and think about good grammar, good vocabulary and making good sentences. They can use their conversation as a practice time to apply what they have learned in English. You can chat with Alice anytime. The first 2500 exchanges each month have more animation and even have speech. I tried chating with her for half an hour and I should confess that I fell in love with her! She can nicely initiate discussions or answer your questions. A great tool to both practice language and also learn new things from her.

This cartoon can be used to practice the four skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening. Suggestion on how to use: Before students listen/read the story, they are pre-taught some new vocabulary used in the story. Then students can play the story in pictures while they're listening to it. They can click on the button "READ" to turn off and on the text. It's better if the first time, they listen to the story with the text on (reading while listening). Then, they will listen to the story with the text off and see if they can still understand. (listening) When they feel confident, they can watch the story again with the text off and try to tell the story along with the pictures, without reading (speaking). You can also ask them to write this tale down as a composition (about 250 words or more if you want to). Vocabulary can also be boosted through story. Students can also come up with their own ideas by discussing where they would go if they had a magic carpet. I tried this with my young advance elementary students and it was pretty successful. we had also a very engaging discussion in which students said they would have gone if they have had a magic carpet. They also very much liked the cartoon itself.

This is a game where the learners have to guess and spell the missing word in present progressive form
