Grammar and vocabulary

Grammar
Digital Education Network (EDUNET): Online English Grammar –a fairly comprehensive online grammar plus some grammar practice activities.

EDUNET: Online English Grammar Clinic – send your grammar questions and get an answer from an expert. Run by Lydbury English Centre in UK.

HyperGrammar – a rather useful hypertext grammar from the University of Ottawa with a focus on the creation of good written text. The authors claim it is incomplete but it is difficult to see how. Very comprehensive and well put together.

Ruth Vilmi's Online Grammar – a site full of activities for students. As well as a comprehensive online grammar there are also lots of grammar activities and links to other sites with grammar, vocabulary and writing for students.

Vocabulary
Cobuild Idiom of the Day – a new idiom each day from the Collins Cobuild site.

Dave's ESL Cafe Idioms Page – idioms plus a definition. You can get idioms at random or view the entire list.

Longman Dictionaries – dictionary activities including kids games, 'Hot Word' and 'Idiom of the Week'.

Merriam-Webster Online Language Centre – excellent resource with lots of fun with words including Word Game of the Day, Word of the Day, Words for the Lighter Side and more. This is the text-only home page which loads very quickly but there is a graphics enhanced page too.

Vocabulary Quizzes – hundreds of varied vocabulary quizzes for all levels from the Internet TESL Journal.

Word for Word – a fascinating site dedicated to all things lexical. Only suitable for advanced level students.
