Chapter Three


Welcome to Adam Rado's English Learning Fun Site
Adam Rado's English Learning Fun Site

This is the Website I explored for chapter 3: Developing and Practicing Listening and Speaking Skills.

Goals: Through many activities basic, intermediate and advanced levels students get to practice the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Presentation: There are mainly three parts to click in: Guest, Toefl Helpful, and Members. In the guest area it helps students to learn grammar, idiom, slang, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, accent reduction, listening, reading, and writing through many topics such as sounds, cartoons, jokes, printout exercises and student input with correction, etc. Students can also interact with others by sending their comments on several activities to forums and view others’ opinions or making e-mail pals with foreign students.

Register for free membership student can get more practice in each activity. The Toefl Helpful focused on preparing for the test.
Appropriateness: The sections are clearly created, students can easily choose what they want to explore. It should be noted that the website is for basic, intermediate and advanced levels students.
Outcomes: Quiz-like outcomes.
Evaluation: When students submit their answers, recorded voice of “try again” or “good job” speaks out immediately.
Notes: This website uses interesting topics to encourage students to learn. For examples everyone watch movies, so it provides a section on movies to create all kinds of activities. Multimedia materials make learning English more fun and interesting. It also covers communication and collaboration, which is an important notion in learning. It is indeed a website that covers much and really can attract students to visit again and again!
