English Day at UdA Presentation

Good morning, let’s if I can add a few more resources to those already explained. I have classified these

into two groups, however all the resources can be used by both learners and teachers alike. Let’s see the

resources for learners. We’ll start by a very interesting and plentiful site: bbclearningenglish.com. Within

its key features we can find (for Intermediate level students) the very appealing 6 Minute English. Students

can listen to the episodes online or download the pdf of the transcript and the audio file. BBC Active,

formerly BBC ELT, includes print, audio and video media files for adults, young adults and children.

British Council’s Learn English is an incredible website. Its Business & Work section includes

professional podcasts featuring audio files and their corresponding listening comprehension and grammar

structures exercises. Learn English Online presents grammar lessons for beginners. A4ESL.org is a

website that has thousands of contributions by many teachers including quizzes, tests, exercises and

puzzles to help you learn English as a Second Language. Randall’s ESLCyber Listening Lab offers a

wonderful opportunity for those interested in practicing listening comprehension activities. It offers

thousands of everyday conversations with adult and children's voices. Those more interested in practicing

grammar structures will find English Page very useful. It offers complete grammar tutorials with their

corresponding interactive exercises. Manythings.org offers a variety of activities ranging from quizzes,

reading exercises, word games and puzzles. English Guide is, as its name indicates, a guide of different

resources for learning English. Let’s have a look now at the resources we can use to Teach English. British
