Monthly Internet Practice

As you know, you must hand in Internet exercises once a month. In fact, if you work well, you will discover that English teachers are becoming almost obsolete and that you don’t need them at all. There are lots of English learning materials online – you can choose grammar and vocabulary, but do not miss the chance to practise your listening and reading skills. There are chats for learners of English as well.

You can try these out, but remember to hand in a printed copy of the exercise you choose! And remember, use only FREE materials, do not buy anything!

As you know, the easiest way to find something on the web is with http://www.google.com, a search engine. You can type in ESL exercises free, or whatever you are looking for, for example, ‘infinitives and gerunds’. You’ll be surprised at the results. This may be time consuming, however.
Here are some websites that may be interesting for Batxillerat students:
