It is fun, accessible at different levels and is quite patient. Teenagers love music and can choose songs they are familiar with. They'd probably be surprised by what some of the words actually are!]]> 2018-07-20 14:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/270706800 Jill's Resource https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/270758717  | Name of resource |  SpeakPipe.
| Type of activity (reading, listening, speaking, writing, language, game, song, video) |  Speaking
| What kind of learner is it for? | Intermediate and Advanced. I don’t think it will help a beginner as much because the student needs to have some grasp of English.
| What’s good about it? |  It enables the speaker to practice fluent and fluid speaking. He can play it back and hear where his pronunciation needs improvement. This is a very useful tool that enables the student to improve his communication. 
| Possible disadvantages |  The main disadvantage is that he is only listening to himself, so he may not know if he is mispronouncing something. However, an intermediate or advanced student should be able to use it with good results. 
| Would you recommend it? Why/Why not? |  Yes. For the reasons listed above. ]]> 2018-07-21 19:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/270758717 Anastasia's review of StoryBird a_stamoglou https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271008219 2018-07-24 18:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271008219 Sophia https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271379081 2018-07-29 19:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271379081 Name of resource = Lingohack. http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/lingohack/ep-180725 Type of activity - listening to and understanding a video. What kind of learner is it for? The webpage actually says what type of learner it’s for - intermediate. What’s good about it? - Images of the puffins (point of discussion) would likely be engaging for learners.- Visual words appear while news story is being presented visually.- Asks students to consider a question, before the video is played.Possible disadvantages - Focus on the UK.- Strong dialect that international students may not understand.Would you recommend it? Why/Why not? I would recommend it, but it would have to be part of a wider theme within a lesson, for example, a discussion on environmental issues. https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271465363 (Thomas Gazzard)]]> 2018-07-30 17:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271465363 Ticiana's Review https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271611605 - Name of resource: Breaking News English
- Type of activity : reading, listening, speaking, writing, language, game and video.
- What kind of learner is it for?  Teenagers and Adults.
- What’s good about it? There are so many possibilities to tailor a lesson according to students interests, levels and needs. And the lessons can be done online or be printed.
- Possible disadvantages: If you don't have a good internet, it might not work correctly in certain activities. And for some specific activities you must have Adobe Flash Player, otherwise it won't open
- Would you recommend it? Why/Why not? I recommend it for sure because it's the most complete website for practicing all skills.  ]]> 2018-08-01 01:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/271611605 Review (by Kárin Ottoni Medina) https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/272607501 Resource used: tedxesl.com]]> 2018-08-10 10:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/272607501 piccadilly2001 https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/273214821 breakingnewsenglish.com

It's comprehensive; it covers all skills - reading, writing, listening, speaking - at different levels to suit students' needs.

It's meant for intermediate / upper-intermediate students.

There's a wide range of articles to choose from. There's no need to go through all the activities to reach the aim of the task.

I see no disadvantages as it's not compulsary to do every single exercise so that the task is meaningful. It's up to the students to do what they feel like doing.

I'd recommend it to those who want to improve their reading skills as it's not too demanding and can learn true facts from these articles. Also, they can do further practice through  the other three skills.

There are many subjects that you can learn more about watching videos of native speakers. The learners can improve their listening and learn some new vocabulary or practice grammar at the same time. Possible disadvantages: some videos are long and learners ca be demotivated. Would you recommend it? Yes! Why/Why not? It's a fantastic way of introducing learners to new vocabs and practice something they already know about grammar or expressions. https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/274569867 Priscila Prado]]> 2018-08-22 13:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/274569867 piccadilly2001 https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/275305738 Reccommndede]]> 2018-08-25 08:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/275305738 piccadilly2001 https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/275305739 Recommended by María Pilar
I'd go for www.lyricstraining.com. I'd use it at the end of a unit as a mark to know the unit is over and also as a reward. My students are keen on MUSIC and I'd ask them to bring a list of songs they like and they'd vote for one and we'd sing the most popular one.

Type of activity (reading, listening, speaking, writing, language, game, song, video) |  Reading, listening, video
What kind of learner is it for? |  Intermediate level
What’s good about it? | Uses real world examples, varied and interesting content, combination of reading and listening with follow up questions, could easily be expanded upon to involve other skills, gives insight into the culture of the countries being reported on
Possible disadvantages | Scope of content could be too wide/irrelevant/uninteresting, activity is fairly passive
Would you recommend it? Why/Why not? |  I would recommend these activities as part of a wider and varied lesson]]> 2018-08-27 01:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/275416481 Review by Tessa Lawrence googinsbeebins https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/l4zshm2j84cx/wish/276036641 https://tedxesl.com/2014/05/21/patricia-ryan-dont-insist-on-english/#more-497
Type of activity: listening, reading, writing, speaking.
This resource is for advanced students. It is good because it teaches the second conditional, allows students to practice matching vocab in practice sentences,  tests comprehension, and has them discuss the topic. Its disadvantages are that students will probably tire of the topic after doing just a few of the exercises, and it is for pretty advanced students. However, you could just use a few of the exercises and keep it varied. I would only recommend this resource to experienced teachers and advanced students.
