                Hello eveybody!

                This week, our topic is to introduce a website for learning and practicing English.

                There is only one person who works on this website. Her name is Barbara, she lives in Poland, and she is the creator and owner of anglomaniacy.pl.She set up this website in 2005 to help her very young pupils with their English.

                "Anglomaniacy.pl" is a site for kids who are learning English as a foreign or second language. Young ESL students will find here lots of online activities and hundreds of printable worksheets that can help them with their English.This is also a resource site for parents and teachers of young ESL learners. They offer tons of free, ready-to-print teaching materials including flashcards, quizzes, games, song lyrics as well as a big collection of useful links to other ESL/EFL websites.

            The website consists of 8 sections.These are respectively vocabulary, grammar, expressions, songs, ABC animals,holidays and printables.

            The Vocabulary section contains free online activities that introduce young learners to basic English vocabulary grouped into 36 topics, reflecting kids' interests.  

 Each topic-unit contains materials to introduce, practise and revise new vocabulary.Select a category, then learn and practise new words with their online and printable activities.

     Grammar section contains online lessons, activities and tests plus printable worksheets that can help children develop their grammar skills. 

 The activities, suitable for beginners and young

learners, focus on the main grammatical topics

taught on elementary English courses. 

 The material is organised in grammatical categories: Nouns and Verbs. Each category is divided into relevant units. Each unit focuses on a particular grammatical area and has the same format consisting of four parts:

1. LEARN: online presentations of grammatical structures through simple examples and colourful illustrations

2. PRACTISE: short and easy exercises which help learners practise the grammar points

3 TEST YOURSELF: animated quizzes which allow pupils to check their understanding of the grammar lessons in a fun way

4. PRINTABLES: printable worksheets for each online unit (flashcards, activities and games, tests with answer keys). You can look at this link. "http://www.anglomaniacy.pl/verbs3p1.pdf"

   The expression section incudes both online and printable materials that can help kids learn and practice basic phrases used in simple communication.There is a simple picture story with a short dialogue. The vocabulary is presented through the Wordies in Space series.

In the songs section, you can find the popular kid songs. Music makes the leraning enjoying. You can listen them by cliking "http://www.anglomaniacy.pl/songs.htm"

 

 Young learners can build vocabulary and develop their reading skills, while at the same time broading their knowledge of animals in the ABC animals section. They learn amazing facts.

  











   In the holiday section. You can find the examples about the special days, such as easter, valentine’s days etc. You can check them here.

  The last section is printables. A lot of materials is offered to us about basic English grammar and vocabulary.

 To be honest ,I like this website very much.I think it is very attractive for children because it is much colourful and variable.There are a lot of opportunities for both children and parents/teachers.Teachers should use this website definitely.With the help of this site,  while children learn, they enjoy, and  they are more willing to learn.Also, teachers can find different examples for the students, thus they make the learning amusing and affective. After  teachers teach the subject, they can make the learning permanent by performing practices on this website.As a teacher,  we should not keep to only the traditional system, we use different techniques. But the examples in the garammar are a bit little. Students can not learn the subject if they stick to only that page. So, teacher must lead the student to use the website after they school the subject.
