#41, ELT Resource: English To Go
By Tarun Patel
English To Go Ltd (”ETG”) sells digital English as a Second Language (ESL) solutions. English-to-go uses the Internet to deliver:
- Integrated and custom tailored sets of lessons
- Courses
- Assessments Tests.
They provide ESL lessons to institutions, teachers and students around the world, for use either online or in hard copy formats. Their lessons are based on Reuters news stories.
The Japan Times
“English-To-Go, the first serious attempt to teach online via the Internet, is a fun and creative way to learn the language…”
BBC Education Web
“An excellent resource with new articles each week on current issues. Although the site is designed for English language teachers, the content is equally useful for native English speakers in Secondary Schools or Home Schooling groups.”
ETG Products
1. Teacher resources
ETG has more than 1,700 individual “print and teach” lessons targeted at schools and teachers to provide a total resource base for teaching ESL/EFL. To put this into perspective, if just our Instant Lessons™ (which currently exceed 1100) were printed out they would take approximately 5,000 A4 pages. All of this material is available in a fully indexed database.
In addition we have developed hundreds of hours of on-line interactive resources which students can use to improve their skills as well as practice for major English examinations (e.g. TOEIC, FCE, IELTS or TOEFL).
2. Courses
Using our resource base as a core, ETG can assemble a customised course for individuals and schools that will meet all of their individual requirements. In addition, the resources can be used to assemble courses for ESP (English for Special Purposes) such as medicine or aviation.
3. Online lessons
http://www.selfaccess.com is a site designed specifically student use. There are more than 400 online lessons available in the library based on Reuters news articles. Intermediate level students and above can use the Academic lessons to assist in preparation for TOEFL, IELTS, FCE or TOEIC.
We also have online exam preparation courses.
The General English exercises provide listening, reading, writing and grammar exercises from elementary to advanced. These lessons are used by universities, ESL schools and secondary schools all over the world. Free samples are available.
4. Remedial courses
Finally for individual learners, our resource and database structure will allow us to administer an on-line test, automatically diagnose deficiencies and then generate a specifically tailored remedial course in real time.
