Learners like Learning Chocolate Activities for Learning English. Learning Chocolate is a nice little resource for students. Learning Chocolate offers six learning activities in dozens of word categories. Learner picks a word category such as animals or clothing then listen to the pronunciations of the words in that category. After reviewing the pronunciations students can choose from five different activities. Each word category offers three matching games, a fill in the blank game, and dictation activity in which students spell the words as they're read to them.
Learning Chocolate could be a good resource for teachers in search of activities that students can do independently or at home with parents. Learning Chocolate also offers teachers the option to build activities using their own word banks.
Another useful tool I have discovered is Wordle, which is a really useful site for creating word clouds. You simply copy and paste the text into the word cloud generator and it gives you a word cloud . It can be used for differnt purposes in the classroom (Appendix 1).I have really enjoyed trying out this site and creating word clouds.
WordSift helps anyone easily sift through texts – just cut and paste any text intoWordSift and you can engage in a verbal quick-capture! The program helps to quickly identify important words that appear in the text. This function is widely available in various Tag Cloud programs on the web, there ia an ability to mark and sort different lists of words important to educators. There are also few other functions, such as visualization of word thesaurus relationships (incorporating the amazing Visual Thesaurus and Google searches of images and videos. With just a click on any word in the Tag Cloud, the program displays instances of sentences in which that word is used in the text.
Creative teachers will find an endless variety of uses for WordSift.
So, WordSift enables teachers to create an environment where language is "talked about" as richly as possible. Much of language cannot be taught directly, but much of language is learned through active talk, so why not have a way of talking about language?
