Vocabulary
Language Guide | This easy-to-navigate site could be used by basic learners. The audio component makes the micro-lessons engaging. The user hovers the cursor over colorful words and symbols, and the site pronounces each. A basic student could become grounded in basic vocabulary by working through these illustrated lessons. |
Memrise: Language Learning App | Memrise offers a pro($) plan but their free plan includes these features: video clips of phrases used in real life, gamified tests that train language skills, and personalized review plans, (which require you to open an account with them). |
Grammar Monster | These are vocabulary lists for beginning students. From broad categories choose more specific categories to find lists that offer flash cards with picture, text and audio pronunciation. Then find games and self-correcting tests to reinforce learning. The British accent is not too strong but the occasional British term may need some explanation (we’d say spatula, not egg slice). |
Agenda Web | This site is colorful and easy to navigate for basic learners. There are video and audio components enabling students to recognize and label emotions. Using this site could be a back door into encouraging learners to identify and name their own emotions. |
