The question: I’ve heard that there are some great interactive learning sites on the Internet. Which ones are worth checking out?

The answer: Project Literacy is now equipped with computers in the tutoring rooms. There are thousands and thousands of sites devoted to learning, many of which are interactive (ie: you can do quizzes, exercises, games etc. on the computer). What a great way to make learning fun!

E.S.L. Blues
http://www.collegeem.qc.ca/cemdept/anglais/trouindx.htm
This site is aimed at English as a Second Language ( E.S.L.) students but is useful for anyone working on grammar. There are on-line exercises dealing with verbs, tenses, adjectives, prepositions, and even proverbs.

English Club
http://quizzes.englishclub.com
Again, this site can be used by E.S.L learners and native English speakers. There are quizzes and games for all levels of vocabulary, grammar, and general knowledge (science, geography etc.). Tutors, scroll to the end of the site for the “lesson plans” link. There you’ll find lots of lesson plan ideas, games, worksheets and activities.

http://www.nifl.gov/nifl/fellowship/reports/susanc/inthome.htm
For those new to the Internet, this site offers basic strategies for Internet use. There are on-line lessons to help develop skills while exploring Internet sites.

Quia Web
