What's it do?
The internet is full of worksheet sites. This was is different. Give me three minutes of your time, and I'll explain what it does.

What it isn't
The internet is full of really great websites that serve as libraries of worksheets. You know the kind: you search for "food" and get ready-made lessons on kitchens, on restaurants, or on grocery stores.
This is not that.
What it does
This is a tool that makes it easier for you to help your students review vocabulary.
I used to think that the secret to teaching vocabulary was to tell my students how to practice vocabulary. I thought that, if they had some strategies to review vocabulary, they could do it on their own.
You know where this is going: Very few students did the review on their own. They needed me to tell them what I wanted them to do, and to check that they did it. I am teacher, but also an accountability partner.
Dynamic EFL is the tool that I made to help me help my students.
How it works
At the heart of this system is system that manages classroom vocabulary. Once you've entered a word into the system, it is automatically included again and again in the worksheets and review activities that the system makes for your classes.
Flexibility is the ultimate goal of this system. The goal is that you should never be constrained in what vocabulary you can teach in your classroom, or review using this system. So, you can add any vocabulary at all to the system and the worst that can happen is that you might be asked to provide your own definition or gapfill sentence.
The advantages
This provides advantages for you as a teacher (saving time is just one of them). But, even more, it provides advantages for the people you teach. I would be happy to tell you more about it, or you can try it yourself for free.
