Thinking of a specific career related website is difficult for me because I visit many nowadays; but I remember when I just started to work as a teacher I had one it was my favorite: www.mes-english.com. Even though it is neither an appealing nor a relatable name for an English teacher’s website for me it was like a first time teacher’s paradise. 

This website has flashcards, PPTs, worksheets, games, etc. and the thing that I liked the most; the site allows you to use its images and formats to create your own brand new material!!! I modified a lot of PPTs and create tons of wordrsearches, crosswords, spelling readings and vocabulary handouts; all of them including visual aid, of course!!!

I was so happy because I was able to put in practice all the ideas that I had in mind on attractive teaching material. I have admit that not all the material created by me worked 100% well but that wasn’t an issue because I had the chance of improving it for the next course.

Currently, a website that I use quite often is www.wordreference.com, which is one the best online dictionaries, it is also available as an APP so you can carry it with you 24/7. Apart from getting a word translation you can know and understand its meaning in context and most of the times also listen to its pronunciation with several accents, for me that is simply awesome!!!
