ESL On Twitter

Social media is an excellent resource for ESL learners. You can join groups, get advice, meet fellow students, and even take lessons online. Today, we'll look briefly at a few outstanding ESL feeds on Twitter.

English Teachers On YouTube

Students usually like to stay with one teacher as long as they can, but, it's a good idea to receive lessons, and advice from other teachers. All teachers have different strengths, and approaches, and also come from different backgrounds. You can learn Canadian, American British, Australian, Irish, Scottish, etc.


This is why the Internet, and YouTube especially, are great resources for ESL learners. They are (usually) free, and can be used any time. I recently found this YouTube channel: Learn English with Emma, part or the EngVid group on YouTube which has many teachers you can choose from, and there's also the EngVid homepage.There's also a Facebook page.



This blog has had posts about telephone English. Below are two videos from EngVid's teacher, Emma.

Emma's lessons are outstanding: she, and the other EngVid, speak clearly, and have  vocabulary and expressions clearly written on a whiteboard.

Remember: if you'd like to practice telephone English, try a simple business call like ordering a pizza. It's a fun, comfortable place to start. Practice in real, "live" situations is very important.
