Dear all,
The Survey of English Usage at University College London (UCL) are proud to
announce the availability of Englicious, an entirely free online library of
original English grammar teaching resources. The site is closely tailored to
the UK National Curriculum, but can be used by teachers of English grammar at
all levels.
Englicious will help students:
- learn about English grammar in a fun way, using interactive online resources,
including exercises, videos, projects and games, all of which can be projected
onto an interactive whiteboard
- develop their literacy skills, with a focus on spelling, punctuation and
writing
- stimulate their enjoyment of (using) language, both in spoken and written form
- enhance their confidence
- improve their test scores, especially the Year 2 and Year 6 SPaG tests in UK
schools
Englicious offers teachers:
- a complete and reliable overview of English grammar
- a year-by-year overview of the new programmes of study and attainment targets
in the 2014 UK National Curriculum
- hundreds of fully prepared lesson plans, including everything from bite-sized
starters to larger projects, for use in the classroom
- assessments for evaluating student attainment and progress
- the entire 2014 UK National Curriculum Glossary, enhanced with new
terminology enabling teachers to use terminology consistently throughout the
Key Stages
- professional development materials for teachers to brush up on their own
knowledge
