Learning Chocolate


Sometimes teachers look at already made platforms. I think that this may be useful in the beginning of our journey as teachers,but not for regular use.This site is beneficial as far as vocabulary enhancement is concerned.
As we can see there is a variety of topics and words. There is a chance to listen to the words or phrases, so that you know the pronunciation(UK or US accent).

Specific vocabulary grouped in a theme- based approach:

The activity in the following picture is a dictation activity. There is a range of activities in the platform, such as matching or fill in.

The drawback is that there is no space for creativity and imagination. What is more, some words are very rare,such as sirloin in beef's body parts and thus this environment can be chaotic for a beginner. 

It is great that the tool is easy to navigate and learners can search on their own, but the teacher's contribution is indispensable.Some aspects would probably engage boys more( car interior) or some others would be more motivating for girls ( cosmetics).
