Real English!

Real English!

I have been using this website for higher levels of primary and secondary students. It offers videos of real people answering a question from a reporter, and provides activities to go with the videos. The videos are a little old fashioned and some of them are poor quality, but they are organised according to topic and with the level shown, which makes it easy to find a relevant video. I usually use some of the activities and then make my own worksheets to go with them. Shows a wide variety of accents, which is good listening practise.

I used the following video to practise the past simple with a class of 12 and 13 year olds. They had learnt this grammar point in primary school, but I wanted to refresh this tense.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog; Hannah's English Emporium! I am currently working as an English language assistant in Gandia, Spain, and am going to use this blog to post any useful websites and games that I find to (hopefully..) make learning English fun :)

I have tried to organise the pages by age range, so take a look!

First, something for Infantil and early years primary; the alphabet with Peppa Pig..
