World - English's ( www.world-english.org)

This web page was created to give resource for English learning. Here we can find so many activities related to many topics.

Because of the kind of activities presented, interaction is something easy to find out in this web page. This can be called as “internet server and learner interaction”. It is also possible to find an area where you can have a discussion in English with teachers. Besides, it is possible to find free online English lessons. So we can do as many things as we want.
Authentic Audience is something that we can find too. Due to the kind of activities we can have synchronic conversations by writing or speaking.
it's hard to say if the activities are meaningful for students, because there is a wide variety of lessons and the English level. I think that can be meaningful if the teacher prepares the activity on that grounds.
Feedback appears in this web page, but only in terms of error correction.
Motivation is not important in this page, I think that the teacher's job to make the activity motivating.
Owing to most of activities are created to make the student to learn by him/herself the features related to student-focused and the autonomy are the main characteristics presented here.
Since there are many ways of learning, I can say that Multi-modality and integrated skills are offered here. We have the variety of ways of learning and you can train any skill such us, speaking, writing, listening, and reading.
I think that the biggest disadvantage is the fact that we can not see the goals of an activity, but again, I think as a teacher we need to make the goal and give the objective for an specific activity.

I think this web page is useful but in terms of being a tool for teachers to motivate and make their classes more interesting.
As a teacher I would used it to make a new style of teaching and make the students work by themselves and I would try to play the guiding role.
