  Hello everyone! "According to information collected by Android App Locket, the average user actually checks their phone around 110 times per day." We are so addicted our mobile phones that we cannot imagine living without them. Even the youngest generation use mobile phones proficiently, today. When we take into consideration these situations, one thing comes to our minds: We can turn mobile phone overuse to a beneficial condition. But how? And the other idea preoccupies us: That being the case, why do not we use applications? Today, I would like you to introduce an English language learning/teaching app called Johnny Grammar's Word Challenge.




  This app is developed for English language learners by British Council. It has 60-second quizzes which include grammar, words and spelling categories. It is completely free and really simple to use, download it, register or play as a guest. When you click to play button, three categories will be appeared.

  There are 12 topics under the section "grammar" which is available from easy to hard level. Choose the topic you want to practice and start your 60-second quiz and facilitate your learning. At the end of the quiz, you can also see your correct and wrong answers and receive feedback which is crucial for improving your language skills.

  When it comes to looking "words" section, there are 10 categories which include common topics like hobbies, food&restaurants, idioms etc. You can choose easy, medium or hard level according to your proficiency, for each topic again.

  The last section is called spelling. You are given 2 options, one is misspelled and the other is correct form. You can also earn badges and challenge with other players.

  After learning a grammar topic, your students can play a 60-second quiz about that topic as an extra practice so as to consolidate their knowledge. They can compete with each other entertainingly and help one another by explaining why the answer is wrong. Student - student interaction will facilitate learning much better. Do not forget, what the key point is improve your target language and enjoy it at the same time. Therefore, I highly recommend you this simple, free and helpful app. If you have any comment or favorite app to suggest me, please leave a comment below. See you!
