ANVILL
After exploring ANVILL and learning most of its interesting features, I have come to the conclusion that it is a very good (technology-bound) tool not only for ESL students but also for teachers. It is suitable to everyone in need and desire of reinforcement, communicative-skill-wise. Language learners regardless of their level need to rehearse their skills to develop and hone their command of the target language. Otherwise, they all risk losing whatever headway they have made regardless of the language. I have had several students who have not only taken language courses, tutoring and diverse subjects in English, but have also learned how to learn on their own . ANVILL is a great option and opportunity for those students. People who have acquired a certain level of proficiency in terms of identifying what their requirements are.
ANVILL wisely includes features that can be useful to both students and teachers. Teachers can benefit from each and every tool; nonetheless, students who are interested in developing their skills will have to make do with fewer features. Among the most remarkable features one is to find the following:
1. Voice boards
2. Forums
3. Live chat
4. Quizzes and Surveys
5. Lesson Planning Templates
6. Course management
I think that ANVILL indeed makes a useful tool, which takes root in variety of resources (features). It is not the same to see certain material presented in a traditional way (written on the board) as to see such material (information) in a more didactic and even more entertaining fashion. Therefore, ANVILL presents a valuable opportunity as a learning and teaching – planning tool for anybody who has internet access, has some spare time, and above all is willing to give technology a try in order to improve their command of the target language.
