Online English lessons - What do you think?
 

Hello Teachers and Students!

My name is Greg, I've been teaching English in Beijing for the past 4 years. I'm originally from Michigan. Anyways, I've created some free online oral English lessons, and I wanted to hear some feedback from both teachers and students. It's intended for teachers to be able to easily grab a lesson from, and also for students to learn from. I recorded my voice for the conversation that I made. Anyways, I'd appreciate any feedback. The site is Esl Teaching Jobs - Free online English lessons with audio!

Thanks, and have a great teaching day!
Greg

Greg - congrats on the new site! the best advice I can give you is keep at it. You might not get much feedback for the first 2-3 years :( But, if you can keep it up, the effort will begin to pay off.

The activities seem pedagogically sound, but for a student, you'll need a very motivated self-learner to keep as your audience. Do you have the background software/server ability to make it a point based system or quiz type activity?

It might be good to have 5 questions for them to answer. They can try those and then get 5 new questions. 3 cycles of something like that might keep students more interested.
