Click and learn



Click and learn is actually a tool that is specially designed for Spanish students to learn English. The students are being guided to explore the rules in the English language and to go through a continuous exercises that generally covers the topic. Therefore, as it is made by the Spanish people, the systems is organised according to how Spanish people categorize their students' level and the context suitable for them. (eg ESO 1/2/3)




The website includes several activities such as grammar, vocabulary, global knowledge and others that could be used by the students to improve on their English proficiency level individually or for the teachers to use in class. Plus it comes with different level of difficulties that we can choose for different level of students.

The best part about this website is that although is made for the Spanish students, The activities and instructions are in English  so that other people who would not know Spanish could make use of this website as well.


How to use it?
Eg: spelling exercises.

1)Choose the level and criteria you want the students to practice.


2)let the students practice using the website or teacher lead the classroom with the practices.



Personally I would  not recommend this site to be used frequently because:

  1. We need some time to really understand on how it works and how it would benefit the students
  2. Sometimes the visual aid are not accurate and in low quality
  3. No audio help in certain exercises
  4. Its sometimes frustrating and confusing as it does not allow us to move forward if we couldn't answer any question or even go back to the previous page
  5. The level and topics is rather vague and hard to understand for us to choose on which one is much more suitable for our students.
  6. Some of the text are too long and make the student even feel demotivated
  7. The games are not really fun and even make the student feel stressfull.



However there are some good things about this website:
  1. Its free
  2. Promotes autonomous learning for the students to practice their english at home
  3. Provide continuous exercise relating to the same topic.
  4. It does have visual and audio aid for students
