Keep up your English during the holidays_EFL Apps



  •  Are you a student of English as a foreign language (EFL student)?      
  •  Are you on vacation from your English course ?
  •  Are you an adult learner who needs English for communication in      work-related situations?
  •  Would you like extra classroom practice and challenge?
  •  Are you in a very crucial moment of the English language learning process: pre-intermediate or intermediate level?
     
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, chances are that the two apps below can help you practice and expand your English.

How is that ?         
           
      
Personally I recommend you have a go at the Listening and Vocabulary topics at first, because there are many practical situations there such as : 
  • Business conversations, 
  • Interview, 
  • Flight details, 
  • Health, 
  • Shopping ...

Here are the apps, both available at iTunes and Google Play.


The developer is http://www.examenglish.com/
Apps are a convenient way of practicing, learning new things and challenging yourself.
If you are a student, that may work to keep up your English, especially during vacation time.
If you are an EFL teacher, you could suggest the apps for a different kind of homework or as extra practice.

Rescuing your purposes and resolutions

This is the first post of 2018. May we all have a happy and prosperous new year !!! When blogging we tend to start off by having some resolutions in mind. Today with me it was not different but for one detail: Facebook brought up a memory of a blog post from january 2014. My new resolution back then was to start vlogging. http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/informed-teachersvlog.html What I had in mind back then was that I would start posting more like in this fashion: a written part + a video http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/02/apps-for-your-learning-success.html I kept this going for a short while and then went back to my traditional writing. When I came across this blog memory the first thing that came to my mind was:  why is it that we start off with many ideas for the new year and we actually get to work on them but this usually lasts for a short while , or at least shorter than we thought ? How about starting a new year by looking back at

Feel free to use everything as a class sequence or choose one of the activities to integrate with your class. This is very suitable for pre-intermediate levels and what I liked most is the fact that there is room for expanding on vocabulary and also having fun with the typical Friends jokes that come up.
