CALL // LANGUAGE SKILLS

Hello everybody!

Can you imagine how many services for studying foreign languages exist at the moment? I believe that there are a lot of them. And how to choose the right resource for you? I tried to look at some of them for different aspects of learning English and choose the ones that I liked. Perhaps some of them I will use in further training. Let's start!

1. Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation

▸TELL ME MORE 

The program Tell Me More Performance has unique features that will improve the English language. It includes unique developments such as speech recognition, digital image processing, and a large number of visual learning methods. According to the description of the program, I suppose that it can be useful in improving your pronunciation. If you are not sure whether you have correctly pronounced a word, then its pronunciation can be compared to a native speaker by means of audio recordings and graphs of speaking. Also in the program materials are divided into courses and there are several modes of operation, which simplifies its use.

2.  Reading and Writing
▸INTERLINK LANGUAGE CENTERS

A good free resource for improving reading and writing skills. Texts for reading are divided into categories depending on their content. Also after the texts there are exercises that train both written skills and vocabulary. Materials for reading are diverse in content, so you can find the text on the topic you are interested in. Also this resource offers convenient navigation and is easy to use. You can now click on the link and start using this resource (software download required).

3. Grammar

▸ESL TOWER

ESL TOWER is a colorful resource that offers you a lot of exercises not only for grammar, but also for vocabulary and reading. The exercises are given on various topics and in different forms (games, quizzes, crossword puzzles, etc.). The site offers convenient navigation and does not require downloading the program. Also you will find here a lot of useful and interesting if you teach English children.

4. Vocabulary

This is an example of a talking dictionary. The dictionary offers all possible meanings of the word, as well as various phrases and sentences in which it can be used. Also here you can listen to all the suggested variants of using the search word.
