ESL WEBSITE EVALUATION

1. This website is for people studying English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The primary focus of this website is to teach ESL learners on reading, listening and speaking, vocabulary and grammar. In my opinion, this website is a good website for ESL learners because there are quizzes, word games, word puzzles, proverbs, slang expressions, anagrams, a random-sentence generator and other computer assisted language learning activities. Learners will get immediate feedback after using the activities and exercises. Apart from that, the exercises in this websites are from different level of difficulty make it suitable for all the different level of ESL learners. 

2. It is easier for the learners to use this website as they don't need to sign up in order to use the content in the website. This website is user friendly because the layout of this website is simple and clear making it easier for the learners to browse through the website. The menu columns provided on the right side and on top of the website make it easier for the learners to search the topics that they are interest in. All the activity and exercises are free. Learners do not need to ask permission to use and to link the website. Apart from that this website is also mobile friendly because learners can also browse this website using their ipads, iphones and cell phones. It provides the learners some of the things that should work on cell phones and other devices that can't use flash.

3. When I was doing my practicum, I did use some of the exercises and materials from this website. It did help me in terms of the preparation and teaching. When I embedded CALL in my teaching, the students pay more attention and enjoy the lesson more as compared to the chalk and talk teaching method.

4. Yes, this website present learners with something that cannot be done in a textbook or workbook because learners need to use computer or other electronic devices for most of the games and activities in this websites are interactive. Some of the exercises are also equipped with audio and video to make the learners understand better on the topics.

5. In my opinion, this website incorporates Communicative language Teaching into the learning situation. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages that emphasizes interaction as both means and ultimate goal of learning a language. It is also refer to as Communicative Approach. Most of the exercises/activities provided in this website help the learners to develop their communicative competence. The different types of listening and speaking exercises/activities encourage the learners to communicate and interact in their daily lives. 

6. Yes, I would say that this website is potential for language learning because it covers most of the skills in language learning; reading, grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Apart from providing the learners with the exercises, this website also provides notes to the learners on each of the topics. This website is a good tool in teaching and learning language as it provides the learners with various activities, games and worksheets to be used. The activities/exercises provided in this website cater to all the different levels of the learners proficiency.

7. Yes, I would like to use this website and other ESL website in my future work because I personally think it is a good tool or teaching aid in language learning. Since technology has become part of our lives, I think it would be a great tool for learners to learn language. The interactive games and activities provided in this website grab learners' attention in learning the language. However, you have to remember that sometimes technology may not function as planned. Hence, I think rather than using the website as a main tool in teaching the language, it should be use as a tool in reinforcing the language or serves as a revision tool.
