Hi guys!

Here you are the last practice resource I've found on the Internet so that you can practise at home or at work. It's a web page that is full of reading and listening stories - audiobooks, drama and songs. Make your choice and listen to what you like most.

A2 & B1 - Grammar Practice

Hi everybody!

How's your summer so far? Hope it goes perfectly well! Thanks a lot for all your kind comments on the blog entries since the school finished - they keep me alive and motivated to go on uploading resources for your own benefit!

What I've prepared for this week is some grammar practice as the exams are now approaching. Exam English is a web page that provides extra and free grammar practice tests for English learners according to your level. Click on the following link to access your level. There are three grammar topics including A2, B1 and B2 if you want to try a harder level ;)

Have a nice day and keep on practising!!!

A2 & B1 - Listening resources

Hi everybody!

This is my piece of advice for this week!!! Let's practise summarising!!

I've just come across an incredible web page full of podcasts which are graded (beginner, intermediate or advanced). It's also a way to practise and achieve next year's goals in advance ;) It's English Lingq!

You can download the podcast by clicking on the link "Click here to listen to....". If you want to read an extract of the script you only have to click on "Read the rest of this post". However, if you want to read the full transcript of the podcast, you have to register on www.lingq.com.

Anyway, what I recommend you to do by listening these podcasts is to summarise them as a kind of recognition and memory task. First of all, try to listen to a podcast of your level. Then, try to make it more difficult by listening to a podcast with an upper level.

Go for it!

A2 & B1 - Dialogues, narrations, phrases, pronunciation, role-plays...

Hiya!

I've found a web page www.audioenglish.net  with useful resources, especially dialogues and role-plays so that you can practise for oral exams. Each dialogue or role-play has an audio section, feel free to click on it and listen to each dialogue as many times as necessary.

You can also check the This week's top resources section and choose the topic you want to revise, learn or listen to.

Hope it helps!!!!

A2 & B1 - Conditionals with Vaughan and some other Vaughan resources

Hi guys!

Here I am again! Today I'm posting some links to useful Vaughan videos on Youtube. I'm posting just one but you can access the rest by clicking on them in the right hand list provided.

The video I've chosen is about "Conditionals" but there are some about the future, ... all of them introduced by the word "cloverdale". You can access the Cloverdale's Corner as well!!! These are some podcasts from Vaughan radio.

There's also a famous TV contest called "The Verb Circus". The link here is about the difference between the verbs TO LOSE and TO MISS. You can also check the other videos about the verbs TO COME, TO GET; TO BE BORN, TO LOOK... etc.

Have fun guys and keep on enjoying summertime!!
