Some other places you might like to go to learn
about writing or English as a Foreign Language.
Links
Writefix This site has a collection of material and links for students
studying for the PET, IELTS, TOEFL, and strangely, the ICDL. There are also
dictionary and search links.. www.writefix.com
Four Japan-based sites:
ManyThings.org This is another site from Charles Kelly, and some of
the links above are available from here. Aimed directly at students. Like the
name says, hundreds of things to do. http://www.manythings.org/
Dave Sperling's ESL Cafe is a very old site, aimed at teachers, but
with lots of activities for students. Try the quizzes
Randall Davis's ESL-Lab - one of the best site for practising your
listening. http://www.esl-lab.com/
BBC. Like most television and broadcasting stations, the BBC has a
website specially for learners of English. This is an excellent place to go to
find out about current events - the sort of things you have to write about
in essays. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/
Check the polls and surveys to see what topics are being debated.Here's
one: "Should you pay
for water?"
Bill Daly's Writing Argumentative Essays web gave me the idea for this
site. With over half a million visitors, this excellent site is aimed at native
English speakers who want to improve their essay writing. The layout is a little
confusing, but it's worth working through.
