At the moment, many services are still operating online. Teaching online is likely to be an area that expands in the future, certainly a lot quicker than many people realised. Learners are understanding the convenience and practical appeal of learning from home. I teach English language and am always looking out for new resources online that learners can use in their own time. I am retaking Cambridge Assessment English’s “Teaching English Online”. They provide a lot of advice and ideas for different resources for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Here are some of my new favourites which I recommend.
- Voki – learners can create an avatar online and add a voice to it to hear yourself speak.
- Breaking news English – many lessons available on topics related to current affairs. Learners can choose their difficulty level and adjust accordingly.
- Write & Improve- learners copy and paste their written work to receive feedback on it for free.
- BBC Learning English – there are many lessons available to help learners improve their pronunciation.
- YouTube – I enjoy YouTube far too much, but of course there are excellent videos on learning English and even videos posted in English language can aid and improve comprehension.
