Liliana Simon's curator insight, February 1, 10:35 AM

Excellent blog to work with vocabulary

Patricia Daniels's curator insight, February 7, 9:57 AM

This is a site that teachers can use with students, or a place where motivated students can access language resources for autonomous learning. Short texts with vocabulary lists and podcasts. In some cases there is also a video. Activities can either be short or extended. Wonderful resources for all the literacy skills. As the texts are short I feel students will be more inclined to dip into this site themselves. Certainly worth exploring.
