My favourite page to teach English specially to beginners

http://www.mansioningles.com/

I like this page very much. It was the page that I used the most last year when I taught English to kids.

I used this page because it helped me in several aspects like:

1.- Interaction: I taught English in a rural area and the school had only one computer per classroom, so this page was useful for me in order to promote the interaction between students when they had to do some assigment.

2.- Authentic audience: As you see, in this page you can find a section in which students can have access to a short dialogues and practice their listening comprehension by filling out some exercises.

3.- Meaningful activities - students: there are not too many activities that students can do to enhance their language proficiency rather than listening, reading and grammar.

4.-Exposure to varieties o languagues: students are exposed to a different variety of english because of the tapes.

5.- Right amount of time and feedback: the amount of time depends on the time you want to spend reading, listening or learning new vocabulary.

6.-Motivating: this page is very motivating and it can helps students to inhance their language skills, but if they want to improve their speaking this page is not useful.

7.- Students-focused: this page is totaly focused on students.

8.- Authonomy: students learn what they want to learn noone tells them what they have to learn.

9.-Multimodality: It does not involve much multimodality because it only emphasizes listening and reading skills.

10.- Comfortable environment: it depends on the skills of the students. For some, reading is better than listening.

11.- To integrate skills: two of the four skills can be found in this page. Reading, listening are integrated but productive skills cannot be found.

12.-Clear objective: the objectives of this page are totally clear. To develop reading and listening comprehension.
