World-english


World-English is a website that gives language students an opportunity to learn and practise their English. It offers a plenty of different exercises and tasks ranging from vocabulary and grammar to speaking, listening and writing. The great thing about this site is to put students in access with English native speakers or teachers to practise their English or writing. This site provides links to other English sources, the cultures and history of English speaking countries and literature based language.

  • In each  grammar exercise there are a section for explaing the  rules of that grammar point.

How can it be used in the class?

It coild be utilized in many way in language teaching contexts. Some of these uses are as follow:

After finishing a lesson about one of the grammatical  rules, for example, a teacher can ask the students to go to this website and click on the category of  grammar exercise and test. Then answer the question related to their lesson. It is useful if the students work in pairs and share their understanding of the rule.

Students can use it to practise their listening. The teacher can ask the students to listen to one of the       . After listening, students can discuss what they understand from the listening activity.
At the end of the term, students might go to online assessment tests and check their  English progress.
Students could also used at home to learn new vocabulary or to develop their reading skills.

Limitations
The answers are already provided which may make students less motivated. This could lead students to be passive and just depend on these answers.
Some categories of speaking part  are not free.
I think not all categories are easy to navegate.
