Welcome to HAVE FUN WITH ENGLISH

I would like to welcome all students at the EOI Pontevedra to a blog where they will find a lot of information about the school together with a wide range of activities to practise and improve their English. I´m sure most of them will find the activities in the blog both amusing and enjoyable! Hope you learn a lot... and please, let me know if there is anything you want me to include!!

AN ONLINE COLLOCATION DICTIONARY, AT LAST!!



It's been a long time since my last post about learning resources, but sometimes it is difficult to find anything worth posting. This time I have to thank my colleague Estrella for today's post!! She has introduced the English teachers at school to a new online resource I found really amazing: ozdic.com. It's an online collocation dictionary which can help you with your writing assignments or even when planning your class presentations. 

As English learners, you often stick yourselves to the same combination of words, mainly because you can't find other words to use with the ones you need. That happens to my students all the time!! Using this online dictionary, you will find a wide range of options to choose from, improving your vocabulary and making an excellent impression on your teacher and classmates!! 

Ozdic will show you the words that go together and will also help you sound much more natural. Look up a word to find new ones that can be used with it and improve your accuracy.
