Sites where you can learn and practise English


Here are some useful sites where you can check and practise grammar structures:http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar
(from here you can also access reading and other resources)
There is also:http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/
e.g. http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/linkwd2.html
andhttp://esl.about.com/od/writingadvanced/a/wc_addition.htm
but for me the best sites are:
Exam English ✓Free Practice Tests for learners of English
http://examenglish.com/cambridge_esol.php
for lots of free practice material at different levels (more later about this)
old address, not updated but still active.
you should explore the site. For example, 6-minute English:
is for listening practice and dictation
is for grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation at intermediate level
is for the same at upper-intermediate level
but you can also explore the old site for these elements
Other sites where you can practise English
iTunes U (via iTunes , which you must install)http://www.apple.com/it/education/itunes-u/
video and audio podcasts of university lectures and courses. See how your subject is taught in English. TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) 
http://www.ted.com/
Fantastic presentations from some of the most innovative people in the world. Watching presentations is a really good way to practice comprehension.
The Purdue Online Writing Lab
Online distance courses (MOOCs – Massive open online course)
TV Channels
The aim here is to listen and improve your comprehension, stay up to date (so you should also follow the telegiornale in Italian) and absorb some of the language.
BBC
France 24 in English
Aljazeera in English
You can also get a wide range of live TV channels on:
https://www.transponder.tv/home
and shows on:
Also:
try these film clips without and then with subtitles
