 Guinea Pigs wanted!  20th Sep '07 11:46 AM

Mad bobs is in a creative mood again. http://www.teflmaster.org is a new site (as usual, not finished yet) for making ESL exercises.

I'm looking for a few brave souls to give it a bash and tell me their honest opinion of it before I unleash it on the rest of the unsuspecting world.

It lets you make various types of simple paper exercises, browse through exercises that others have made (at the moment it's full of nonsense 'exercises' that I made while I was testing) and if you're logged in, the exercises you make will be saved to your own account.

You can download exercises as .rtf files, or print them straight from the browser.

It's tied in to the VisaRus user database, so you can use your existing username and password there.

At the moment I'm just looking for feedback on the actual exercise tools themselves - and on the general look and feel of the site.

Tools for making exercises at the moment are:

Jumbled sentences
Anagrams of entire texts
Remove vowels from text (fun reading exercise, novelty wears off after one paragraph though )
Remove Punctuation from text
Remove punctuation sentence-by-sentence
Remove articles from text (replaces with "__"

These tools were originally on http://esl.visarus.co.uk, and looking at site stats last week I realised they were getting lots of visits, hence the idea of trying them on a separate site
