<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I've noticed that there aren't that many new posts to help and inspire English language learners. </p>
<p>I'm an ESL teacher, currently living and teaching in Hungary. In my experience the fastest, best way to improve your English is by practising (as I'm sure most people would agree). Speak as much as you can. There’s a good website I show most of my students: <a href="http://www.wordperfectenglish.com" target="_blank">wordperfectenglish.com</a> where you can join for free and…</p>

Speak as much as you can. There’s a good website I show most of my students: <a href="http://www.wordperfectenglish.com" target="_blank">wordperfectenglish.com</a> where you can join for free and message and video chat with people all around the world. And there are so many other sources online.</p>
<p>What other resources did/do you find useful when learning a new language?</p>
<p>We really need to take advantage of 21st century technology and use these resources to become more confident speakers! :)</p> Web 2.0 tools for speaking in ESLtag:www.classroom20.com,2013-01-10:649749:Topic:9017832013-01-10T00:17:25.555ZCélia Machadohttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/CeliaMachado
Hi everyone.<br />
<br />
I'm new to this site. I'm doing some research on the topic "anxiety and speaking skills in the ESL classroom". Could anyone, please, tell me if there are any digital tools (web 2.0) that might be used with my (more "anxious") students to improve their speaking skills? I'm already familiar with VOKI and Goanimate.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<p>I'm really curious about what other educators would say about <a href="http://englishcentral.com" target="_blank">English Central.</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is a place where students can watch videos and record/practice English based on the videos. Lots of feedback, video quizzes, vocabulary that is graded.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is for learning English but I think it has a much larger potential and welcome anyone's thoughts about how else it could be used by teachers in other content…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>(by the way - sign up as a teacher and you can sign up students, group classes, track and get stats on your student's learning.)</p>

I am currently setting up several packages for the schools I work in. One of these is podcasting to help develop Literacy skills.<br />
<br />
As well as training teachers in using ICT tools I make a point of connecting it very closely to the subject they are teaching. I work in primary schools only so this is for 5 - 11 year olds.<br />

<br />
Before getting children to make their own podcasts I want them to listen to a range of podcasts from very good to pretty poor. This helps them develop a reflective approach to their own learning and what they are aiming to achieve. This is called assessment for learning in the UK.<br />
<br />
We all know there are a variety of styles or genres of speaking, so what I am hoping is that you wilsl hare with me if you know of any good sites with podcasts which would be suitable for this age range to listen to.<br />
<br />
With big hopes<br />
