Students and Teachers Get Out Your Defibrillators Now!

You'd better learn CPR because you're having an English Attack! This site lets teachers teach and learners learn like never before. It's focused on increased and enhanced exposure to English through entertainment. Great videos, photos, and games abound. The site states: "Our approach is anchored in the latest EFL/ESL pedagogical thinking, including the lexical and communicative methods; a lexical approach to grammar; and contextual learning. We reinforce this by applying the principles of cognitive neuroscience (a non-threatening learning environment; stimulation of learning via emotion; motivation through discovery; repetition to enhance retention; learning by doing) and games-based learning (immediate reinforcement; challenge vs. stress; "failure" as a normal part of the learning curve; very achievable rewards and enhanced social status instead of grades and proficiency tests), especially those most relevant to teen and young adult language learners".
