Finally, one thing I have not mentioned so far is the interactive materials of student's books. All the tools I have mentioned so far have been used as supplementary material, so it is time to talk about the tool I use most often. I have been teaching for almost 8 years and so far I have found the MM publications...
I first encountered google classroom when we were forced into the online space with the school during the first wave of Covid. I quickly got used to the interface, but it took some time for my students and their parents to get used to it. I often got blank assignments back, or they would call me several times because they...
From the start, fun easy learn was a pleasant surprise for me. The most critical part of learning a language in primary school is learning to pronounce and spell words correctly. It can be particularly difficult for young learners to remember the difference between writing and pronunciation, since in Hungarian almost all words are written the way...
The magic of kahoot lies in its interactivity, individual task creation and user-friendly interface. Of all the websites I have seen, only islcollective's video lessons can offer this experience, as the same parameters apply, with the difference that a video-based solution to a task offers more creative possibilities.

I discovered this page when I first had private students on a pre-intermediate level. I didn't have any material for listening on that level, so I had to find a quick solution. The site also has options for grammar, reading, vocabulary, phrasal verbs, pronunciation exercises and even some simple games, but now I focus on the listening option. It's...
I chose this website because I use it on a daily basis. What I really like about it is the transparency. You can use it to give online self-evaluating worksheet for your students in every subject in English, and English as second language is also included.
I've been trying to summarize my thoughts about the education I got as kid for more than a week now, and I have to say, that my teachers weren't motivated at all. I wouldn't call them lazy, it was just the personality they had. I did not see them being passionate about their subject at all. The lack of...
