  The Web Sites

 Introduction

  English Club      The English Club is a useful website for students and teachers of English as a Foreign or Second Language. There are three basic parts in the EC for learners: Lessons, Interactive, and Special Interest. In the part of Lessons, there are introduction of grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, and so on. In the second part, Interactive, there are interesting games and other activities designed for learners. In the Third part, Special Interest, other fields about English are introduced; these fields can increase not only learners’ knowledge, but also their interests in English.

    The information in the website is not as abundant as the previous one, but is still useful for many English learners. The greatest feature of this website is that there is Chinese explanation in the part of grammar, which is very useful for Chinese learners. Besides, the activities provided here are also very interesting for English learners.

 

 

     
  Learning Resources     The website offers web-delivered instruction using current and past CNN San Francisco bureau news stories. As the statement of the website, the material here is intended for adult literacy and educational purposes, so I think this website is very useful for college students like us. There are several features of the website. For instance, learners can choose categories they are interested in, such as adventure, politics, religion, and so forth. In addition, they can view the movie of each story and take an vocabulary text right after they finish reading the story. As a result, this is a good place for students like us to promote better literacy.

 

     
  English-Zone      The website also provides learners with a lot of information. However, the shortage is that only members can require complete service and information of the website. To be a member, learners have to pay some money per year.

 

     
  Activities for ESL Students      The information in this web page is provided by The Internet TESL Journal. The greatest feature here is that all activities are quizzes, so I think it is useful for people who are willing to take challenges. For learners who need to increase their basic English ability, this web page is very useful.

     The site is similar with Learning Resources that I just introduced. Throughout the site, learners can find short courses, quizzes, grammar, vocabulary, audio and video that that will help them improve their English.
