Are you a ‘lazy student?’

I was reading through the some of the replies to my blog the other day.  Some people directly responded to the blog.  Most people wrote ‘I wanna learn’ and left it at that, which is a little frustrating.  The point of the blog is for readers to learn and what they were saying what ‘I’m not learning.  I wanna learn.’

I was on http://www.google.co.uk at the time when I angrily typed in ‘lazy student.’  That’s when I discovered http://www.lazystudent.co.uk/.

It’s divided into 48 categories, each of which has done of listings and links to websites that open in new windows.  In ‘Hot Listings,’ you’ll find the most popular links.  In ‘Editor’s Pick’ you’ll find lots of interesting things to read about.

Their mission statement is “to make it easy for students and educators to integrate the Internet into the classroom. The need for a complete online educational guide is evident. Lazy student is designed to be that resource for students and educators.”  Despite its name the site does just that.  I highly recommend it.

See you next week,

English practice website review – ESL about.com

Each week at Languagelab we will review one good English practice website that may complement your English studies with us. Each review will focus on two questions.

What are the key features of the site?
How can Languagelab students benefit from this site?

This week’s English practice website is called esl.about.com

What are the key features of the site?

Esl.about.com is like an enormous and interactive online English practice resource book. If you have a question about grammar, or you simply want to find a practice tutorial for a grammar point, the chances are that you will find what you need at this website.

How can Languagelab students benefit from this site?

With a website that has such an enormous collection of resources as this one it’s easy to get lost for hours simply browsing from topic to topic. In this case, that is exactly what I recommend you do. Why not begin your journey by choosing your level from the following links:

Beginning English

Intermediate English

Advanced English

Once you have selected your level browse through the topics that interest you or that you enjoy. Remember that we often learn and remember things better when we are enjoying ourselves, so making sure that you choose something you enjoy is always a good idea when you are trying to learn something new. Finally, don’t forget to bring your questions and doubts about the topics you study to the grammar house where one of our qualified English teachers will be ready and waiting to help you with those questions that a website just can’t answer.
