How to Learn English

How to Learn English | English Digitools | Scoop.it

With regards to Kaplan Internacional, the best way to learn English is through immersive courses, travelling to an English speaking country or having English classes with other foreigners. However, not everybody has the opportunity to live in an English speking country for a long time or pay for classes. In addition to this, I strongly believe, as Adam says in his blog post, learning a language is a lifetime journey: the internet. The internet is a opened door to learning, to any language and culture you can imagine and it allows you to communicate with foreign people from all around the world. Read some tips about how you can take advantage of the Internet to learn English.

Inma Alcázar's insight:

I don't think this is and EFL teacher's blog, but includes writing prompts which teachers of English can show their students to encourage them to write. Through thought-provoking pictures and short video scenes, students will get engaged in the writing process.

Road To Grammar --- Grammar practice and vocabulary | English Digitools | Scoop.it

Road to grammar is a great site to practise grammar and vocabulary. One of the things I like the most about this site is that if you choose the wrong answer in the quiz  and you click on Notes, it provides  a note explaining why your answer is correct or incorrect. The flash-based game Fluent allows 2 students to play.

1000 images on the tip of my tongue - trilingual directory to learn idioms

1000 images on the tip of my tongue - trilingual directory to learn idioms | English Digitools | Scoop.it

Understanding and using idioms in a foreign language helps us to communicate in a more realistic way. However, this is a difficult aspect of language learning since they differ a lot from language to language. The website 1000 images on the tip of my tongue will be a great for all those who want to learn to use idiomatic expressions. It includes idiomatic expressions in three languages (Spanish, English and French) illustrated with pictures, audio to learn to pronounce them and games to practice.
