We know listening in English can be a challenge to all Brazilian learners. Our objective with this project suggested by Mary Hillis is to show students they can practise listening not only in the classroom but also in their homes. And most of all, by having students visit different sites they can share their discoveries.
PROJECT:
Visit one of these sites and write a report saying your name, the name of the site, the date you did the activity, the topic of the listening, a summary of the listening, a list of new vocab + meaning and your reaction to it.

Hi,
I like the list of ESL websites that you created. I was wondering if you could also include my website Visual ESL. It's mainly about learning English vocabulary through drag and drop games, but also there are some quizzes and grammar. We currently have over 100 activities.
Best regards
Mark
