English for Kids; "anglomaniacy.pl"

This website offers the opportunity to learn and practice English via songs, visuals, games etc. It is obvious that this website was prepared for kids when we look at it's colorful design and cartoons.


The website was prepared by a girl from Polland, Barbara in 2005. She is the creater and owner of the website, her aim was to help her young pupils with their English.
There are different choices for learners to improve their English such as vocabulary exercises, grammar exercises, expressions supported by episodes, songs... When learners select a category, then they see different sub-categories related to various topics. Learners can select a topic which they are interested in and then practise it.

When I look at the website, I have both likes & dislikes about it. First of all, I like the design of the website, because it is set up for kids and it is colorful, supported by cartoons. The variety of topics is another thing that I like about, it is likely probable for children to find a topic which they are interested in. There is one more thing which is a plus for me, this website offers printable worksheets of exercises and young learners' teachers can use these materials in their classrooms.
As I mentioned there are also things that I don't like about. Firstly, the design of the website is a bit complicated for children. There might be confusions for children while using it. Also, there are lots of advertisements on the pages, it could be a problem, as well. The aim of this website is to improve young learners' English, that's why it cannot be used for higher levels.
This website can be used in the classroom for many purposes, such as improving grammar knowledge, enriching the vocabulary knowledge and improving listening & speaking skills of the young learners. However; if the teachers want to make students use the website themselves, learners may need guidence for the reasons that I mentioned.
Consequently, I advise this website for young learners with the guidance of their teachers.
