Language Guide

A great site for learning vocabulary for beginner learners

The video pretty much shows how the site is used. It is a great website considering how many categories it provides(the sound and video becomes unsynchronised in the video, but it is the only one I could find). 

As you can see from the video, when hovering over any of the pictures, the spelling of the word appears where the mouse cursor is and a recorded voice tells the user what it is. This is great for students struggling with pronunciation. On top of that, some parts of the objects/animals are also provided for students("Scorpion"'s "Stinger" and "Finger"'s "Fingernail", for example)

For me, the best part of this website is that it is multilingual. 

 On the top of the page, students can decide which language to view the categories of vocabulary. The voice and spelling is still in English, of course.

Benefits and Limitations

• Good for beginners wanting to improve their vocabulary and pronunciation
• Simple to understand how to use
• Multilingual options
• Much better suited for self-studying rather than classroom teaching(will depend on the task)

• Although there is a good selection of vocabulary, students are limited to the provided words
• Quite impractical for efficient use in the classroom(will depend on the task)
• No specific activities on the site
