I've built a blog which has free ideas, lessons and activities to help ESL/EFL students improve their writing skills.

I'm interested in your feedback on the blog content and overall design.

The target audience is mid to high level non-native speaker English students as well as writing teachers.

Some of the material can be adapted for speaking classes.

If you join the website (free) there is a pdf download with ten vocabulary games and puzzles.

Here's the site. www.eslwriting.org.

Cheers and thanks for your moderated feedback.

bump.

Does hoping for constructive feedback on Dave's constitute wishful thinking?

Had a quick goo dude, my constructive criticism would be not to have the picture of the red haired lady on the register page - I'm at work and had a nice time trying to explain that it was an ESL writing site and not something saucy Very Happy

Well, this...

Quote:
Going to a top ranked university means a lot. The best schools provide the best job opportunities, pay and promotions. The difference between a top school and an average or low level university � in terms of future income � is big.


...is strangely written, as is this...

That is what I think many ESL students can do. If they learn how to write an English essay or report and get a good TOEFL score. Without this skill, going to your dream school is almost impossible. It does not matter if you are super smart. If you can�t write sentences and paragraphs properly, the dream is dead.


Sorry, but that jumped out at me.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll clean up the text, and the pic too.

I see your point about the sauciness factor.

Cheers
