I've just launched a series of English vocabulary games as apps.
Link-Up is an exciting and educational vocabulary game available in two versions, one for native speakers and users of English at a high level, another for speakers at B2 level and above. Players have to enter two letters which complete one word and which also begin another word. Words are displayed randomly and taken from a database containing over 12,000 combinations. Any unknown words can be looked up in the onboard dictionary. The learners’ version game is an excellent way of students testing existing knowledge, learning new vocabulary, brushing up spelling and challenging their brains! Playing against friends is also a lot of fun! The game can be played by one player only, in 'Individual Mode' or against other players or teams, in 'Competition Mode'.

‘Words’ is a fun and challenging educational game in which players form words from sets of letters which are all taken from thousands of car registration plates from around the world. Words are formed using the letters shown, in the same order. Players can play individually or against other players/teams. Facts about the countries and their road networks and plates system can also be called up, if required.

‘Countdown’ is based on the traditional game 'Hangman'. In this game, a word is represented by dashes, corresponding to the number of letters in the word, players have to guess the word by entering letters, they win if they can complete the word in less than 10 wrong attempts. Words can be selected from various topics (sport, business, jobs, the home, transportation, the environment, food, etc.) or, what’s more demanding, players can call up a random word from the database currently containing 2,500 words. Here also, users can play on their own or against other players/teams.

All of the apps are continually updated and the vocabulary databases expanded.
A further 12 apps are currently being developed and will all be available in the second half of 2023.
The apps are available to teachers and schools at a discounted rate.
All of the apps are available on Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.
Does anyone know how to book an exam as a private candidate? When I google this, it comes up with sites for courses which isn't really what I'm looking for, I just want to do the exam (pls don't comment on that choice its a long story). When they talk about booking it, I can find a lot of info on cost, general info on types of location (i.e. school, exam room etc) and so on, but not HOW to do this... like where to start, do I need to locate a centre and register there? Contact the exam board? I've never done this before as all my previous exams were just done through school.
Please delete if not allowed! And thank you for reading and contributing!! This year is my second year teaching at sJohn F Kennedy Junior school, a high school that serves students with special needs including severe autism spectrum disorder and down syndrome. I teach six students who read and write on a pre-K level and are nonverbal. Their families are immigrants, and most have a limited English and limited resources in this country. They work a lot and they need all of the support that I can offer them. Most of my families, because they speak very little English have had trouble accessing resources that New York State offers for students who have severe disabilities. I have already received many resources last year from so many people in the beginning of the school year from this page, but my needs continue to grow to better support my kids. any donation helps and is greatly appreciated. I always need paper, glue sticks, laminating sheets, magnet strips and Velcro.
I have compiled a list of other games and educational materials that will help me meet my students individualized education plan goals. Please feel free to look at this Amazon wish list and if you can share it! Anything you buy will be sent directly to the school. Just make sure you choose the address that says 57–12 94th St. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
