Description
Study English Today is a website initially created for Bulgarian students to improve
their English language skills. However, because they have such “a large resource of free
reference materials, ”ESL and EFL students and teachers from all over the world now visit
the webpage often. It offers lessons, grammar exercises, language tests, fun and interactive
language tools, and various ESL website links. Featured on its main page, designed like a
blog, are other fun and educational columns like, Famous Quote, English Idiom, Did you
know…, Article of the Day, and a portion that lists which parts
of the website have just been updated.
Evaluation
The Study English Today homepage is very neat, user-friendly, and visually
appealing. There are several fun facts posted in columns to the left, a list of newly
updated pages in the center, and a column for lessons and tests to the right. The
arrangement of the tools, the headings, and even the colors, makes it very easy to
navigate through each page. The lessons posted on the website seem to be for students
in the high intermediate level. Each lesson provides reading material, a vocabulary list
with its definition, comprehension questions, pictures, grammar quizzes, and additional
references. Although there are only 34 lessons, the website definitely makes up for
it with the quality and effectiveness of the plans. In addition, there are 10 online tests
available for beginning to intermediate students; 20 interactive games that both young
and adult students would enjoy; and grammar lessons as well as quizzes that ESL teachers
can readily use in the classroom. I recommend this website because it has several resources
that ESL teachers can use, and it offers interactive as well as effective learning tools for
students at different proficiency levels.

Lesson notes on writing business letters and university writing are offered, as well as information on poetry and lyrics. This is an interesting and creative site for the adult ESL student. http://esl.yourdictionary.com/esl-for-students/ Free-lesson-notes-for-ESL-adult-beginners.html#Kazvv0eRVvbfYphI.99 http://english.gotop100.com/ :This is not an English Exercise site in of itself; rather,
it is a list of some of the best resources for English learners. I especially like
http://www.studyenglishtoday.net/, which this site lists. It is a great site
for people whose native language is Belgium. I recommended it to a friend one a while back.

може да се провери.
Аз имам намерение да продължавам да работя върху него, да го разширявам
и усъвършенствувам все повече и никой не може да ме спре :) |
