Good point Lucy! For me the interest is for language learners - if they use this site, slowly they build up their confidence and realize that yes, they can read the abstracts instead :-) reading is always good practice. For academics, it is likely that this has little interest but for learners, it's great as another activity.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, some of my more advanced students might like to have a go at summarizing one or two articles. I'll bookmark it.

Hi Lucy, glad that you may take the site into consideration and try it out with your students. Sometimes I collect activities/tasks/sites which work well with some students but not necessarily with all. On the other hand, I prefer to be able to pull up sites like these and see how learners react/deal with the tasks. Always a challenge, always a surprise :-)
