Build your own lessons and assignments for your students in this interesting website, a very good example of social WWW and web 2.0.

Register and start creating your posts/lessons/tasks right away. Embed video, links and images, and ask for your student’s feedback and tasks. They will even receive an email when they send you what they have done.

If you want to have a clear picture of what ChitCh.at is like, watch this introductory video, or find some very good tutorials in the website and youTube as well.

Grammar? Why not?

We often quarrel about teching methods. I think a communicative approach is basically what  attains the highest degrees of satisfaction amongst our students. Nevertheless, we should ot forget that, sometimes, it is also good to get hold of activities that help students to reinforce their linguistic structural foundations, that is, grammar. Eventually, I’ll be writing about websites whose goal is to help people get some more practise and skills on that field. There are many interesting websites that help teachers make grammar teaching less cumbersome.

BBC Skillswise is a very interesting website that deals with drills related to those foundatons we are talking about. Exercises are catchy, and they move away from old hot potatoes interface (Let us all praise this old and good application anyway!!)
