Welcome to my blog! I'm an ESOL teacher and teacher trainer in the UK, and you'll find some of the websites I know about in this blog, and some suggestions on how to use them. Hope it's helpful.

Eclipse Crossword

Eclipse crossword is a really nice site for creating crosswords (does what it says on the tin, really!)
You can download the programme so that it's on your desktop and it's very easy to use.  All you need to do is add in the words you want with definitions, and it does all the work for you.  You can print out blank copies, copes with the clues and answers on (useful if you forget the words you put in!) and you can save your word lists and crosswords to re-use.  Great for recycling vocab (I often give my learners one at the beginning of the lesson with words from the past week - it's a useful 10 minute filler while you wait for the adult stragglers).  You can also get your learners to make them for each other.  What's not to like?
