It is well structured and gives a good overview and also has exercises.

While some articles might be helpful for beginners, too (guided by a teacher), this website is certainly more valuable for advanced learners, as the explanations are exclusively in English and use a fairly formal register.

The videos are a bit strange, but since the actors talk very clear and fairly slow, they might prove useful for using in an EFL classroom. They might still be too demanding for beginners, but could be quite fun for advanced learners, for revising grammar. I like that there are transcripts for the videos, the speech acts could be used in the classroom for a role play quiz show played by the students.

Most students love watching movie clips and the activities seem to be fun.

  • Curve Learn
    • An teacher of English in the UK created a blog, where she regularly posts all kind of things connected to the English language and culture. Although it is mostly aimed at native speakers, there are several articles that can be of use in an EFL classroom. There are also explanations for grammar and exercises.

  • Communicative context
    • "Sentence-based, grammar-oriented tasks [ ] remain a component of many language learning programs, although generally they are now more firmly embedded in a commmunicative context."

    • Natural-language processing, 'parser-based CALL' and intelligent CALL (ICALL)
    "Here, researchers and developers are aiming at emulating some of the qualities of an expert teacher, such as the ability to assess the importance of an error or to provide more nuanced feedback."

    • Concordance and corpus studies
    E.g. "[L]earner corpus, an electronic collection of texts produced by L2 learners in which learner errors are tagged and categorized into groups."

    • Multimodal concordancer and corpus
    "allow the learner to retrieve segments of video and audio from a tagged corpus."
