A Greek student called Giannis (Elementary Level English) shows his classmates how they can create their own quizzes!

 Congratulation Gianni!!!

Dimitri

I think we have struck gold !!!
I believe I need to share this video with you and all the school owners who are still hesitant in joining clubefl.
Something so TRUE that came completely out of the blue.
Look what a student from my school did after your visit to our school.
Giannis has only been at Atlas since September 2012 and has been truly fascinated by clubefl blogging. storybird and most recently(Saturday 27th April)creating your own quizzes.(Keep in mind that this is his first screenr post). I can't wait to see what he'll do in the future.
And that's only half the story! Giannis has improved tremendously during the past few months both in his writing and speaking but most importantly I think we are on the brink of a technological revolution by creating autonomous learners!
Clubefl will rock the EFL world.
I can only imagine the impression you made on him let alone the impact this will have on his classmates as soon as they watch it. It believe it was a privilege for us to have you at our school.
We are totally unaware of the dynamics that can be developed both in and out of the class by using Clubefl as it has evolved into an essential tool for the school of the future.
For those of you who are still in doubt just give it a go.
The only thing you have to do is believe in it! You won't regret it.
Take my word for it.

A topic that we often discuss with our students in English classes is whether computers will replace teachers in the future and how this will happen. With clubefl I have come to  understand that the future of education lies on both teachers and students exploiting the potential of computers at any available time. I can even vision how schools will be in fifty  from now with similar clubs in Physics, Biology, Maths and every other subject being the norm.

My name is Anna Athanasiou and I have been using clubefl for only a month!! but I am so excited with the infinite possibilities it offers that I have already been addicted to it. I genuinely feel sorry for the students who graduated and did not have the chance to work with clubefl.

When parents came to be informed of the new technology, they  were all enthusiastic and willing to learn to speed up the process. I had to admit to them that this is such an innovative and challenging method  that has inspired me like nothing else since my studies in the States, where  everything seemed new and challenging to my eyes, coming from the small island of Cyprus.

I believe that there is no need for me or my teachers to go to any other seminars or workshops anymore; we only need training in clubefl as it makes us feel powerful and versatile teachers. My older students started grumbling when I first asked them to go to their homework and expect surprises because they thought there would be more work. Now if I don't have time to add something from youtube they complain. For me it is really rewarding to check on them at night, sometimes close to midnight, and see that they're there doing their homework. Learning can really be fun. I feel that clubefl was the missing link for my scool in order to achieve its educational goals with less effort and more success.

I feel the need to express my many thanks to Demetres Aivazoglou who 'initiated' me into clubefl and has always been patient with my silly questions as I was a complete computer illiterate 'student' for him when I joined the club but he has made me so confident and proud of my computer skills in such a short time.

Good Luck clubEFL -  Go out and make students rediscover their thirst for knowledge.

clubEFL has fantastic resources for EFL/ESL students and teachers, including:

* A Picture Dictionary and a Talking Dictionary. These stand out particularly for all the additional interactive reinforcement activities they include. I’m adding them to The Best Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced English Language Learner Sites.

Several other parts of their site are equally as good, but I’m not adding it to that list because they include YouTube videos. I only include sites that most students can use on their own in that “The Best…” list and, since YouTube is blocked by most schools for student use, I can’t include them in that list. However, it has prompted me to think about creating a comparable “all-time” list for useful teacher sites. In our district, teachers can access YouTube, so these following pages are excellent to use in a whole class lesson using a computer projector. They have short video clips along with lots of interactive reinforcement exercises (students could use them at home, too):……..

I have just joined the EFL club which I truly believe is an incredible tool in our hands!Teachers be creative and students be willing to learn and have fun at the same time.This is going to be a thrilling learning experience.
Κέντρο Ξένων Γλωσσών (Cathy Gourdomichalis)

"Using clubEFL has been a life-changing experience with its impact on our classroom environment. It helps produce unbelievably motivated students – they actually 'beg' to be given work on clubEFL!"

"My teachers find it flexible with all its creative tools at their disposal to produce classroom/teaching material. No preparation is needed – using the vast, inexhaustible online library. For students, clubEFL is a great, full multimedia learning experience, a dynamic input consolidation process in a fun, relaxing, appealing STRICTLY CONTROLLED AND SAFE environment."

I have been using Clubefl for more than 8 eight years, first in our computer lab and then in the classroom as part of my teaching. I find it not only innovative and creative but perhaps above all the most motivating tool that I can use to engage my students. The quizzes together with the videos and the songs, the movie trailers with the vocabulary exercises, the blogs with posts even from our youngest learners, the messages, the homework, the blog stories, they are all there to make both teaching and learning a fun experience. To some, this platform may seem complicated or difficult to use but this is absolutely wrong. It's easy even for people who have never used a computer before. Both the students and the parents are enthusiastic about it , students feel they learn in a way that suits their generation while parents are happy that their kids learn English the fun way. Both my students and I have come to a point where we can't imagine ourselves having a class without clubefl, we are sort of 'addicted' to it. Last but not least, as a person who sees teaching more as a vocation than a mere job, I feel that  the club helps me fulfil my role as a teacher.

Using Clubefl within my teaching has opened up a world of creative possibilities that have enriched my teaching as a whole. I am no longer limited to ready-made activities provided by others but can now create my own tailor-made ones to suit my students’ individual needs and wants, through the countless games, quizzes, stories etc. that can be personally set up. The vast range of activities available through Clubefl provides the teacher with immense variety to constantly engage the learner’s interest through a medium that is relevant to the modern student. This has been my own experience. In other words, in this day and age of modern technology where students are constantly communicating with others via the internet and mobile phones, the only way for teachers to stay connected with their students is via Web 2.0, within a safe environment which is what Clubefl provides. The enthusiastic response of my students has shown me this.

Personally, my favourite parts of Clubefl include the quizzes that can be set up based on personally chosen videos from other reputable sites to provide interesting and engaging aural as well as visual stimulation for listening practice at any level; secondly, the students’ individual blogs, or digital portfolios that allow the student not only a platform for their own creativity and expression, but a platform that can be viewed by a huge audience, thus encouraging the student to take pride in a form of publishing their work through forming their own individualised blog.

My teaching experience has proven to me that a school that wishes to be considered relevant to the modern student must use Web 2.0 technology to connect and stay connected to their students who are growing up in a world of technology and have embraced that technology in their lives. Without this technology, we teachers are ‘dinosaurs’ slowly becoming extinct in a world that will leave us behind.

In my school we know that we are offering the best educational tools to our students and teachers and we cannot imagine our classes without clubEFL: it is easy, safe, creative, entertaining, revolutionary!!!
