My own students have produced some amazing work using this project. Much better than I'd hoped - and they really seem to be enjoying it.

Hi Teachers I've just added a reading game to my site. It's a maze story. Killer robots are attacking Verbo City. Your students' mission is to stop them. It's at http://www.grammarmancomic.com It's got two reading levels, so students can play the same game at elementary or intermediate. I hope they ...

Hi Teachers,

Hi Paul Some nice activities there. I liked the Germany trivia quiz with the clock that counts down while you look for the correct answer. Is that done in Flash? Was it easy to do? I'd love to add something similar to my own site. I don't suppose you have a handy template for it, where I can add in ...

Thanks, all, for your kind comments. I plan to add a lot more students' work soon, including a gallery of students' comic stories. If you'd like to get involved and see your students' work on the site, try the new webquest project (just added). I think any young learner would be thrilled to have the...

Dear all, I've added a webquest to my site. All the resources are there and ready to go - no planning or preparation needed on your part. Just follow this link: http://www.grammarmancomic.com/wquestmenu.html ...and you'll see a picture of a building with its windows numbered 1-9. Windows 1-8 take yo...

Can I be cheeky and add my Grammarman site to the list?

http://www.grammarmancomic.com

It's small in comparison to the giants listed above, but I think it's the only EFL site with comics specifically for English students.

Dear Teachers

I've just added some fun picture puzzles to my site...

http://www.grammarmancomic.com/dingbats.html

The puzzles were made by my Thai students. I hope your students enjoy solving them. Maybe they'll feel inspired to make some similar puzzles of their own.

Heinemann Hits is very good. Maybe it's called Heinemann ELT Hits...

Even if you don't like the selection of songs, there are lots of ideas which can be adapted to the songs you want to use.
