Christmas is approaching and a great time for your language learners to send their peers and family members digital greetings in English. Not only will they be expressing their appreciation for their loved ones in English, but they will also be enhancing their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Imagine how excited their parents will be to have a digital archive of their children speaking or writing in English. Below are free web tools and apps students can use to create their digital greetings.
