I really liked the games for learning to distinguish different types of text (Click here). Some were rather easy while others were pretty difficult, even for me... ;-) A useful resource for starting a unit dedicated to improving reading or (as in my case) writing skills. Even students at higher levels still seem to have considerable problems with telling apart different genres and with producing appropriate texts and the text type games are a fun way of raising students' awareness of crucial distinctions.

Great, enormous and free, but then it's English isn't it... actually it's part of a secret plan to recolonize the world (Ooops no longer a secret...).
ReplyDeleteCheck out CBBC for younger kids: Newsround is okay for ESO 1.
It's amazingly useful, both for ESO and Baccalaureate. I especially like the resouces for teachers and the lesson plans available for free. They are certainly very inspirational sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI used it for an adult student preparing Proves d'Accés a la universitat per més grans de 25 and he enjoyed it. Maybe, it was a little bit easy for his level, though. Great resource anyways!
