Apps- British Council

I always tell my students that they should use all the tools they can to practice the target language. The more contact you have with a language, the better it will be. Nowadays, there are many opportunities for that! One of those tools are apps. An "app" is an application, a software that can be installed in smartphones, tablets, and other devices.

Today, I wanted to present some apps by the British Council. The apps are presented in their site https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/apps. All of them are available for Apple devices, a majority for Android ones, and few others for Windows.

One of the problems my students have is listening, for that, there are 3 different apps, depending on your level and interest. "Big city small world" is a type of soap opera in which you can follow the characters stories, while the Podcasts and Audio and video have varied topics.

The learning tools can help you organize what you have learned ( My word Book), solidify your grammar ( in both British and US variations) and practice pronunciation ( Sounds Right) 

For sports enthusiasts the Sports World and Premier Skills are the way to go. "Johnny" on the other hand does not have a specific topic, but focus on developing grammar skills. 

For young learners, or the young at heart, there are some apps as well to help them "enter" in the language. A fun way to introduce the smaller ones.
