This website is helpful for teachers of English. It provides complete English lessons accompanied with the exercises and their answers.
The teacher can find in this website various English texts in both written and audio forms about various subjects. Also, there are different exercises accompanied which are divided into warm-up before the reading or listening, exercises while and after reading and a post reading and listening activity.
The teacher can adapt the text with the facilities available in the classroom. The teacher can assign some of the exercises as a homework and do some of the online activities in the class as a group work or pair work.
The teacher can divide the class into groups of four or more then ask them to do one of the exercises and the one who finishes first is the winner. Thus, encouraging the use of the target language in classroom and students can learn through communication. This kind of exercises are different from the traditional way of teaching language and it can increase motivation for the learners.
However, if the classroom is not equipped with the suitable facilities like the computers, the teacher can printout the activities and ask the students to do them in the classroom in groups.
Despite that this website includes listening and reading, the main focus is on vocabulary. It depends on teaching vocabulary through reading and listening without giving any direct attention to grammar. This, sometimes, can cause problems for students when using language outside the classroom or apart from the tasks given.
