EFL SITE REVIEW

Site Name: English-Zone.Com
  http://members.home.net/englishzone/

Part1. Description: The main purpose of this site is to develop English abilities for students who are learning English as a Second Language, or studying English in general. So this is more difficult than other EFL site. This site is very easy to read, and uses clear English.  gEnglish-Zone. Comh has many awards like gBest ESL Siteh, gThe Busy Educator Awardh and gGolden Web Awardh, so this is reliable site. This site has a lot of contents. For example, leaning some idioms, vocabulary, reading, writing, study skills, and so on. These are for student, but this site has some pages for teachers. These are language humor, printable worksheet, etc. There is an online store for books. There are many categories like gTOEFLh, gListeningh and gReading Softwareh. This is very useful for person who learns English to buy a foreign book. And links page is excellent. In this page, we can find the useful web site. This site synthetically supports English learning.

Part2. Review/Opinions: I think that the most attractive feature of this page is gstudy skillh. I saw other ESL sites, but this feature is in only in this site. This tells us how to be a good student. For example, note-taking, preparing for essay tests, and language learning. These study skills are very useful for student to prepare to study abroad or to study for a qualifying examination. But, this is just a study skill. So we have to study on other pages by using these skills. I tried to practice in the reading section. This page is divided into three parts by level. I chose the advanced level. In advanced level, a story is very long and has difficult questions, I think this is good training for TOEFL or TOEIC. Next I tried to practice grammar section. In this page, we can choose topic like adjectives, nouns, comparatives and so on. In each topic, there are many questions. We finish these questions, the computer works out a correct answer. I plan to visit this site again in the future, because there are many good questions and it is easy to use for me.
