web sources when learning English

Having been a student for so many years, I do understand how much the score means to a student. However as an English teacher how to utilize the language in our daily life even our academic life is much more significant than just get the high score in the test. Most Chinese students can get very high marks in the test, yet, can't even complete a whole sentence. Some even say they can't talk when facing a foreigner. The students themselves have nothing to be blame as aiming excellent results only. But as far as I am concerned, English is a language, it has much more interesting things than just choosing a right answer in the grammar test. It is the language itself that you could use to express and to communicate.
So let them speak and intriguer their interests are extremely important. Luckily we are born in the time of IT. We have great resources to count on. Such as Speak2me and put English listening club. The speak2me is a useful and interesting website. It is mainly for students to practice their spoken English. It provides free speak software to download, and free on-line course to the students of various topics. Firstly students sign up in the web and download the software, and then choose the topics that they are interested in, then they can speak to the microphone through the software, then the system will give you some instructions and score your speech. After the system scored the students' speech it will give a sample answer for the students referring to.The put club web is another resource site for students practice their listening skills in the daily life and various purposes. It contains BBC CNN ABC news and some VOA special English for junior learners. Students can download the video and the listen mp3 for the material they like. When I was a teacher back in China I suggested my students to visit these websites regularly, since I know learning language does not mean have a 45min class per day. They should have enough exposure in the language, and actively to absorb new knowledge. My students can be marked so excellent in the test; they can also make it to a proficient foreign language speaker. After all, practice makes perfect.
