|
|
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  |

Well, this...

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.
