A review of Speaking Lesson Website

Today, I am going to review on Speaking Lesson Website. You can click to this website Speaking Lesson Website.

Here is the url http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/

This blog entitled Learn English from British council. This website provides the reader some material for teaching English. For example for teaching listening, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary. This websites also gives the reader some dun activities and games. There are also some project for business and work project.

Learn English online with the help of this free website from the British Council with games, stories, listening activities and grammar exercises. You can search for your favourites, or have a look at the site map to find out where everything is.

You will find lots of new listening activities and video content in Listen & Watch. This blog also have a new Grammar section and new IELTS exam practice materials. This website are currently moving content over to Business & Work section from their sister site LearnEnglish Professionals.

From this website, the teacher can give some examples of conversations by using the video provided there. It has some interesting video and tutorial for some conversation. By browsing this website, the students can have more excersises dealing with conversation, besides that the students can have some fun by playing some games dealing with English.

There are many categories provided in this website. This websites helps a lot the teacher, since the conversation and dialogue are clear enough. This website is very interesting for children, beginner, even a college students.

I highly recommend this website since the audio and video are originally from native speakers. This blog is also friendly user.

Here, I give you the screen shoot of the website.
