Welcome to ELT Portal, a multimedia site that serves as the gateway to the blended EFL courses I teach to university students and adult learners. Links to courses and self-created materials are in the left navigation bar, while study and other resource links are to the right.
This site also contains a series of online exercises, including movie trailers, aimed at adding fun and enjoyment to English study. Simply click on Movie Exercises and choose a movie from among three levels of difficulty. The movies contain new words and idioms not found in textbooks. For this reason, I recommend doing one or more of the warm up exercises before viewing a movie.
To save time looking up unknown words, open an online dictionary and keep it open in another window. It is easy to tab back and forth between the exercise and dictionary windows. Enjoy the site!
The Web 2.0 Revolution
This is an excellent video produced by Nik Peachey that illustrates with clear, easy to follow examples what distinguishes Web 2.0 from the original WWW as we knew it. Web technology is evolving at such an incredible pace and the benefits for teachers and students are enormous. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean.
