Calling all creative language teachers!

Post by teachpet » Sat Apr 26, 2003 8:06 am

THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT. THIS IS A 'PET PROJECT'. :D

www.teachers-pet.org
 
I'm a computer savvy EFL teacher in Budapest, Hungary, and I am currently developing a text tool and a Free Resource Search Tool for teachers.

At present the text tool will Randomize sentences/words, Create gap fill and multi choice exercises, Remove Punctuation, and a few other things.

With the Resource Search Tool you can access idioms, famous quotes, Easy-English news articles, slang, and other resources relating to a theme of your choice with a single click.
 
I'd like to hear your comments and opinions about the tools which you can access, no strings attached, at my website ( www.teachers-pet.org ).
 
I look forward to hearing your comments soon,

All the best,

If it's free stuff you're after, I've also added a Teaching Resource Search Tool to www.teachers-pet.org where you can search for news articles, idioms, famous quotes and more on a single theme of your choice. :wink:

I'm over the moon that you like the site. It's grown a lot because I've been playing with it night and day.

Feel free to link to it. I support anything that might bring me a step closer to achieving infamy and eternal recognition.
