English Media Lab

English Media Lab is a very busy website!

Home page of English Media Lab
You may find it a bit confusing ... the home page has a lot going on, including lots of ads! If you click on one of those, you may find yourself going somewhere else on the Web, so be careful! Some but definitely not all of the games and exercises are more suitable for children, but you may still find them fun. I thought the videos were a little boring but see what you think. If you do any of the listening exercises, notice that the speakers may have British or Australian accents. They may not sound like the people you hear in the U.S.

When you click on an exercise or game, you will need to scroll down the page a little to find it. There is almost always another window above that's really an ad for another website. If you click on one of these by mistake, you'll be directed to another website. You can tell by looking at the URL address on the address bar at the top of your computer screen. If you go somewhere by mistake, just hit your "back" button and you will get back to the English Media Lab.

Here's a website I went to by mistake. The URL on the address bar says I'm now at Jumpstart.com. I pressed the back arrow at the top left to get back to my game.
