Start here!

This website provides some FREE resources to help you practise and improve your English. Everything here is in the public domain, from publishers, language schools and organisations such as the BBC and the British Council.

I have been gathering examples of useful resources from a wide range of sources. No one person will want or need to use everything; select the resources you personally find most interesting and useful.

This is work in progress to provide a compendium of free resources for potential students for the English for Employability programme.

Users of this prototype / pilot are encouraged to make use of the COMMENTS feature on each of the messages, to provide some comments; you are encouraged to use this to practise writing skills.

Students will also be encouraged to explore other resources that are available on the various websites to which their attention has been drawn. Part of my purpose here is to make people aware of the range and variety of good quality resources available online to help practise and develop communication skills in English.

I have not (yet) had a chance to quality assure every single page but I am generally content that the resources are well fit for purpose.

I am aware of the need to give further thought to:

• Information overload
• The sequencing of the content provided here
• Managing expectations about the progression issues mentioned in next steps.
