Guest post by Marina Petrovic, Online English and Serbian teacher I’ve been teaching languages online since 2008. You may imagine that I have tried out a myriad of different tools since my first online lesson! For synchronous teaching: Skype/FB After working with various virtual classrooms for years, starting with ancient DimDim and then pricey AdobeConnect and popular WizIQ, I ended up using Vyew. For synchronous and asynchronous teaching: Google documents Of course, Skype along with Google doc! For asynchronous teaching: Blogger and Facebook page for sharing content Blogger is the simplest form of blog I would advise teachers to use. I hope you enjoyed learning how I perfected my online teaching in years while downsizing the number of tools and platforms. I would like to invite you to share your online teaching experiences, your blogs and your favourite tools! You can now import questions into Learnclick or export Learnclick quizzes.

By Opal Dunn, educational consultant and author Introduction Young children are natural language acquirers; they are self-motivated to pick up language without conscious learning, unlike adolescents and adults. They have the ability to imitate pronunciation and work out the rules for themselves.

English Prepositions
So what are prepositions? A preposition is a word which is used before a noun to show its connection to another word in the sentence. For example: The dog rests on the armchair. (The word "on" is used before "the armchair". We understand that the dog is on the armchair. The name "preposition" (pre + position) means "put before".
