Online Resources for
Practicing Oral English
Below you will find Internet links for students who want to improve their English. There are a lot of them, so take your time and find the ones which you like the best.
I also know that many of you do not have regular access to Internet. Do your best to go with friends and print some of the activities on a printer…that way, you can share.
Many thanks to Leonel Duran, Sam Harrington and the rest of the teachers from the Wuhan University Summer Intensive English Program who contributed information for this page.
Speaking and Pronunciation
Dave's ESL café
This is one of the most well-known websites for ESL students (and teachers). You can chat with others, ask questions, take quizzes, learn vocabulary, etc. I use this web site all the time for ideas.

The English Club has many pages of useful information for English students.
Here is some general information about the site, written by its authors:
The English Club comes to you from Cambridge, England. It is written mainly in British English, taking the the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English as a reference. But we have pages about other varieties of English such as American or Canadian. Don't be surprised if you see a word that you think is wrongly spelled! Some words are spelled
differently in British English and American English. "Colour", for example, is British English. In American English it is "color". We try to make this clear when it is important. As a reference for American English we use Webster's New World College Dictionary.
