This website is great to use in ICT class with your students. You can also create your own webquests!
This is a very complete website for primary and secondary education; it is full of webquests and treasure hunts on different topics. There are also reading and writing exercices and tasks on vocabulary and grammar. You can also create your own webquests, quizzes and other activities using the programme "Hot potatoes". I found it out a long time ago and I have used it in 3rd of E.S.O. classroom. It is a good resource to foster the digital competence, autonomous learning and cooperative work among students. It is very motivating for them and ideal to work in swapping hours, in small groups.
A classical website for English teachers. Useful to work on vocabulary exercices or grammar
I think that most of you know this website, it is a classical! Although it might have an "old fashioned" appearance, it is very useful to apply the use of language in classroom. Here you find different types of activities: grammar, vocabulary, listening or phonetics. By using these activities students can practise their skills and reflect on English language.
