Hi I'm Rob from Woodward English.
Something that I've been doing for over four years
is publishing a simple ESOL quiz
ESOL is English for speakers of other languages.
I've been publishing this quiz every week
where English students from all around the world of all levels
can practice their English.
Here is an example of one.
As you can see,
it is a multiple-choice quiz where a sentence
or question has a word or some words missing from it.
Students need to choose one of the four alternatives
that can be used to complete the blank space.
This quiz is usually published every Monday,
depending on your time zone,
on all of our social media accounts...
on Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Instagram etc.
And many learners of English leave their answers in the comments section under the quiz.
Sometimes the quiz will be about grammar, common mistakes, sometimes about specific
vocabulary and collocations or even about phrasal verbs.
Sometimes the quiz is for a lower level, other times for a higher intermediate level.
A question I frequently get asked every time is:
What is the answer?
Well, if you look carefully in the bottom right corner of each quiz,
you'll see something written faintly.
It says Answer: X
with X being the letter of the correct answer.
Sometimes within the comments of each post,
teachers or even students explain the reason a certain answer is correct.
For members of Woodward FRIENDS, which is our community here on YouTube,
I have started to create a simple explanation about why
a certain answer is correct and why the others are not.
This explanation appears in a short video
where I appear in person.
When I can, I link to a page or a video
that further helps explain that topic, for example FOR vs. SINCE, DO vs. MAKE,
countable uncountable nouns, different tenses etc.
There is a link below in the description
about how to become a member of Woodward FRIENDS here on YouTube.
Teachers are welcome to use these quizzes with their students,
and parents of course with their children.
You can either download the image and print it out,
you could project the quiz onto a board or on a screen,
or you could recommend that the students do each quiz for homework.
Yes, the answer may appear faintly in the corner
but you can get students to explain
why they choose their answer to make it more interesting.
I have also created a version where the answers do not appear in the bottom right corner
and I've also included a special answer sheet for students
as well as an answer key for teachers.
I have included a link to this English teacher resource in the description below.
I hope you continue to find my quizzes useful
and remember to subscribe to our channel so you know when I create new lessons and material
to help you improve your English.
Have an awesome day!
