Tips: "Daily Writing Tips"



For those of you who also work with translation or are writers, or if you need a good resource for teaching writing skills in English, or even if you need help with some tricky idioms, Daily Writing Tips is an excellent place to run to. 

It provides daily articles on grammar rules, idioms, vocabulary use, spelling, punctuation, style, and also tips on writing fiction or business content, and on being a freelance writer. There are also quizzes with which you can test a skill yourself or your students, with answers and explanations.




You may choose to subscribe to the newsletters and receive their daily tips by e-mail - however, it seems that as of now you have to pay for it, with some nice bonuses if you do. I subscribed to this website many years ago, when it was free of charge, and I keep getting their newsletters every day. Nonetheless, you still have free access to the website and may browse their extensive archive to make use of it as you please. If you wish to check out what they are going to send to your inbox, there is a free trial you can try.

I've been benefiting from DWT for many years and I hope you'll find it useful, too. Happy browsing!

This is one of my absolute favorites to go to when I need fun worksheets as extra activities to practice grammar with students of all ages. It's very easy to find what you want and the author provides a variety of exercises for every grammar topic, all of which you can download for free! There are quizzes, puzzles, crosswords, board games, questions & answers, fill-in-the-blanks, charts, multiple choice, conversation practice and many more! The author also provides ideas for using them in class. All Things Grammar is definitely one of the best free resources around, and I strongly recommend you check it out!

ESP: Science Direct

For those of you who work with ESP (aimed to master's and/or doctor's degree) and need to look for academic papers to elaborate your lessons, a good tool is Science Direct. It's the best website I know with thousands of papers available for reading and printing. You can browse by journal, author, or keywords. Not all of them are free (those that are are marked as "open access" and you can find them using the advanced search), but sometimes all you need is their abstract. ;) You don't need to register to have access to them. If you are member of an institution, it may grant you access to full articles. Visit the website: Science Direct
