An extremely nice website for young students created by the New York Zoos and Aquarium Authority. Choose the animal parts you want to have in your own wild self, and create a new species in the animal world! Very useful for learning vocabulary related to body parts and animals. You can see a picture of a modified me to the right... ;-)

Whilst not connected with English Language Teaching, I just felt that I had to share this wonderful method for learning Polish for non-native Polish speakers. Never again will I have problems with cz, sz, ź, ż or rz sounds!

I recently stumbled across this rather funny clip from a Japanese TV Show. The aim of the game is for the 'students' not to laugh whilst their English 'teacher' (played here by a comedian) reads out some text about Marco Polo. If the students should laugh, the results are, well, painful to say the least!

Have you ever wondered about the strange little symbols appearing next to a word (wɜːd) in a dictionary ('dikʃənri)? Why do we say record when it's a noun but record when it's a verb? When does the sound of our voice go up or down at the end of sentences or questions?
Well, wonder no more. Thanks to a fantastic animated presentation from Cambridge University Press, you can unlock the secrets of English pronunciation. No longer will pronunciation appear as some form of obscure Black Magic. Read the article for more information.
