English Central is website designed to improve the listening, speaking, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The core of English Central is the video player, where students watch videos, learn vocabulary in-content of the video, and then speak using the video as a model. Access to the website is free with an easy email sign-up. English Central has 7 level, where level 1 is the beginner level, and 7 the expert level. We can change this difficulty level any time by clicking on the progress bar at the top of every screen. To progress through the seven level, you must master all the words at each level.
You can watch this video to know the detailed information about English Central website:
The videos in English Central are classified according to level of difficulty and topic, include transcriptions and vocabulary definitions so that students can get the most out of their listening experience. The videos are interesting and cutting-edge, and there are many relevant topics to choose from. After watching the video, students can practice speaking. Not only that but also it gives students feedback on pronunciation. The website provides some pretty impressive and convincing statistics that support the use of video technology to improve speaking fluency.
Students can choose to access videos on an as-needed basis. Students also can set weekly goals in the areas of pronunciation and vocabulary. They can also select Video Courses, modules of videos, and exercises that are centered around a particular skill or topic. For example, students can choose courses for Business English, English Pronunciation, or English Proficiency exam preparation (like the TOEIC). A list of courses available can be found here http://www.englishcentral.com/courses#!/index/all/all/recent
I think the website can be beneficial both in academic and conversational classes, as it serves a variety of purposes. The wonderful thing is that students can use this website independently and really get a lot out of it. Hopefully you will interest to use English Central as a part of learning English.
