Friday April 11, 2008
The internet is a wonderful place to learn and practice English. I think it's the best tool for learning English available. This poll asks how you use the internet to improve your English:
Here are some tips for using the internet more effectively to learn English.

I like to use idiomeanings.com for my idioms!
…at sites like this one, and at my blog “English Grammar” http://engrammar.com/ I do my all remarks there, and it’s much better than do it on a piece of paper. My favorite book “English Grammar in use” for intermediate students.
I think you might have considered including in your poll a ’sometimes’, ‘often’ never’ question. Anyway interesting as more and more students start using the infinite variety of ESL material available there.
This site is a great tool for gramar and info, and i use “voa special english” for listening.
I use http://www.takeawaylanguages.com. It has a fantastic conversation practice tool for Mandarin speakers trying to speak English.
I like very much internet. but no thing replace good teacher in person.
I find this site very useful for ESL teachers, it gives a lot of useful tips and exercices. But I would like to be able to print quizzes to train my learners. Anyhow I do recommend this site.
Can you give an article about Aimé CESAIRE’s death 17TH APR 08?
I use this site and i find it very interesting, if i don,t inderstand some words or how to speli it i go to :
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/tool.html
I use a lot of stuff, just go along the Dmoz category : “ESL”
(http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=ESL&all=yes&cs=UTF-8&cat=World%2FFran%C3%A7ais),
and you’ll find 700 sites (from the worst to the best).
In the “real life” (yes, still exists!) I apply to meetings organized by some free social networks like:
http://www.meetin.org/ (you always have one near you)
http://polyglot-learn-language.com/index_polyglot.php?session_langue=eng
The last one is laureate of the European language label in 2007. And its bi-weekly language meetings in Paris are very worthwile! You can find it in other cities, too.
http://www.takeawaylanguages.com.cn has just been launched. It is a free site for Mandarin speakers to learn English. (NB: http://www.takeawaylanguages.com is for English speakers to learn Chinese, and is currently not free).
I have found this website an excellent resource as an ESL teacher and I highly recommend it to my students.
