Text Terminator destroys texts, you have to reconstruct them. You'll see the text dotted, click on the first dot to listen to the text and then type the words to reconstruct it. Good activity for listening skill. I found this very useful to practice listening and develop vocabulary. I tried this with a friend of mine (Upper in level). He said that he liked the practice very much and at times challenging. I believe that this is more appropriate for upper/advanced students.

This game may be used in elementary-intermediate levels. It gives the definition of the object and one should find and click on the object. I tried that with one of my pre-intermediate students, she liked it, but the only thing she suggested is that it should also have the names of the objects written. So, perhaps you could make flashcards from this game and make some additions to it.

This game is very appropriate for teaching the fruit-names in beginner or elementary levels. It is a kind of match game. The player also hears the sounds, and the way the words are pronounced. I myself tried it, though it was easy for me, I enjoyed the game. TRY THAT!

To be honest, this game does not depend on the level of the students :) It is more important to be observant and to be able to see what you look at. It asks to find words from letter-mixture. My sister and I tried this game and it was a real fun :D! Try that and if you can find all the words.

Using this site, you can Improve your students compositions dramatically, teaching them how to plan their ideas first. This programme will help them create and print a map with the ideas they need. I tried this with a couple of my private students who are studying for iBT TOFEL examination. They stated that using this map they could write a sentence or a paragraph for every idea and this way they had a coherent essay, well organized and much better than the usual messy stuff they would produce formerly.

Adeh this is a very nice way to involve students in essay writing. I tried it myself and I found it very useful. I am going to use this with my own students. It is a real sample for academic essay writing and also we can print our writing. Thank you for this format.

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.
