FUNNY WAY OF LEARNING ENGLISH


Hi everyone,
Last week in my last post, I have talked about one my favorite blog for teaching english but in this post, I am going to evaluate a website for learning and teaching english.

When ı search for interactive, helpful websites for english, I find out ABCya and I really love it. In this website you learn and reinforce english by educational games. Games are planned for each grade from kindergarden to 5th grade and the grade level categories are broken down by content categories : letters, numbers, holidays, more (shapes, social studies,art...etc).

Why did ı choose this website?
 I am talking everytime especially in my country we use monotonuos strategies, classical styles and we know that profound effect of technology on lessons and students. These games really draw students attention and the peripheral learning happens because students without noticing not just vocabularies or grammar rules even math, basic skills are learned thanks to games like identifying colors, patterns, adding, subtracting, reading, and spelling...etc. 

I do believe all target grade level would want to use this website since it allows them to play with other students. This is the other effective feature of this website , it enhances interaction of students.

I really recommend this website because 

 this website is  very helpful. I loved the different category options. As well as the different levels for each grade group and ı believe all students love the learning english by this way.
