It's for all levels and they prepare it for you. What’s good about it? This website provide a lot of activities and you can just use them.

It's mostly about writing dialogues for an animated film. Then the web-interface would make you select characters, setting, music etc.
This would mainly be for primary students as the site is still fairly limited at this point but if they develop it in the right direction it could interest secondary school students. 
It really makes learners use their imagination which is something that is often lacking in education. 
Because of the limitations of the site learners would quickly get bored if this was done too often but once in a while it could be good. 
In conclusion I would recommend it because it is really unique and very rewarding for young students to see their creation.]]> 2018-07-26 07:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/271180032 QUIZLET.COM https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/271220711 I`ve tried this website and it`s amazing.Students can review , reinforce and ofcourse learn new words whilst make the activity.
For all the level; really advantage for any parts of view.
I couldn`t find any disadvantage process yet.

I chose a video clip bbc world news. This website provides a wealth of material and in a rather concise form, so it easy for students to work with it. This video is for the students of intermediate level. The focus would be on listening comprehension and new vocabulary. I would also encourage students to discuss the topic in groups. The advantage of this website is the variety of material of a good quality which helps with comprehension and new vocabulary. Another advantage is that the transcription is available. The disadvantage is that students might need more everyday conversational language which is missing here. So I think this is a very good resource and would recommend to use it together with other resources, such as envid.com .

2. There are different levels to suit different learners.
3. I love this as there are heaps of activities to choose from. Everyone would be able to find something on this website.
4. I couldn't find anything negative.
5. I would most definitely recommend it because of the great variety of activities. ]]> 2018-08-13 18:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/272922711 Listening activity (news and interesting information from all over the world) espatula_1823 https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/274233470 Website :https://share.america.gov/theme/theme-education/theme-english-learning/
This website is for the general public  and there is a section for English learning.
Disadvantage: the website does not have designed activities to do for English learners.

I will recommend this website because even when it is not a specialized site for English learners it contains good information for all over world and audios with scripts that would allow learners hear  how to pronounce words and the their usage in context.

This is great for older or Advanced learners. It cover Interesting aspects of the language and discusses contemporary subjects. This is suitable for c1 students and those interested in linguistics and popular culture. I see no disadvantages apart from needing the internet connection.

Opportunity to hear natural speech patterns
Ready-made lessons, activities, and materials

Potentially controversial
Recommendations:  I would recommend this activity to teachers who have engaged and motivated students looking for opportunities for discussion at the intermediate to advanced levels.]]> 2018-09-17 02:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/282087930 lyrics training https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/282719156 Level: intermediate to advance
Benefits: develop vocabulary words, listening to writing skills (decoding and encoding skills) spelling, sound to letter recognition
opportunity: developing listening and writing skills
disadvantage: not all speakers have the clear way of pronouncing words. Sometimes it would be difficult to decipher words.
Recommendations: This kind of game is very timely and appealing for the learners since most of our learners are music lovers. Integrating music in language learning is one way of promoting English in other disciplines.]]> 2018-09-18 06:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/282719156 http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/ kalkidanh9 https://padlet.com/ExploreELT/t7azwwhi98rk/wish/289948568 Type of activity .....listening

Would you recommend it?
