Welcome to a new series where we feature our favorite free web tools and apps for language learners and teachers. This month we are highlighting the EduBuncee web tool and iOS app. EduBuncee is a tool that language teachers and their learners can use to create digital slide presentations, posters, greetings, and images. EduBuncee is easy to use for young language learners to adults and is a perfect tool for CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). Some of the features language learners and teachers can add to their EduBuncees include Youtube videos, images, text, audio clips, and stickers. Below are a list of 6 activities with examples for English Language teachers to use to support the learning needs of their students. Find many more ideas in this post.
Each week we scour the internet to find great web tools and apps to share on our various social networks (@TESOL, @AmericanTESOL, and @ESLWebinars). Check out our past favorites here.
