Call Center Life: Useful Website - Self Study Grammar Tests for ESL


I have been teaching a lot of students (aspiring call center agents) english for quite some time now and nothing helps them learn english faster and more effectively than through application. The best type of application is a quiz review that progresses from basic english to the more advanced. Fortunate for us there are a lot of website that is available at our disposal to help us do just that. One of these website is the Self Study Grammar Quizzes for ESL that I was very fortunate to find as I constantly searched the internet for comprehensive types of lessons to teach my kids.

The Self Study Grammar Quizzes is a site that focuses on practice quizzes that ranges from easy to difficult and covers various topics such as grammar, vocabulary and idoms, plus a whole lot more. The answer key is readily available as a drop down and to run the website doesnt require much from one's computer system. The instructions are clearly set and easy to understand. And it is a very good website to visit and work with as a supporting lesson add on when you find yourself teaching english.

I strongly recommend that you visit the site and try it out yourself - Self Study Grammar Quizzes

Call Center Life: Useful Website - Englishmeeting.com

I have been asked several times as to where people can go to practice and learn the basics of English Pronunciation - most especially by those that are aspiring Call Center Agents. Amazingly enough I do have a website that I can strongly recommend for all those that want to learn english pronunciation basics - Englishmeeting.com



EnglishMeeting.com is a very useful website in terms of pronunciation, headed by (both literally and figuratively) Dave Sconda. Dave Sconda is both fun to watch and learn with. He has been able to create videos and tutorials that are amazingly interactive and fun. He goes from the most commonly mispronounced consonants and vowels to vocabulary exercises for daily conversation.



I have constantly used his site and videos to teach people who are learning the language from ground zero and have seen a lot of improvements from them when interlaced with regular reading and practice. Dave Sconda's lessons are light and easy to understand making it ideal for people of all ages.



Here is his video on how to pronounce the TH sounds just to get you guys hooked ;)



Hope you guys enjoyed this featured article. Do come back for more as there a lots to come. Till the next time. xoxo
