Englishclub.com
Voted “Best English Language Site”
In
a survey of 7,000 English language students and teachers conducted
by Study Saint, the 100 percent free-access englishclub.com, was
ranked #1 out of 10 leading EFL/ESL [English as a First Language/English
as a Second Language] internet sites.
Mathew Ridyard, inventor of the Study Saint internet organizer
for English learners, presented the Golden Halo Award for “Best
English Language Site in the World” to english-club.com founder
Josef Essberger, saying: “englishclub.com has overwhelmingly been
voted the Study Saint user’s popular choice. From a total poll
of 7,000 votes, englishclub.com was preferred by 28 percent of
the voters. A remarkable achievement.”
Founded in 1997 by Josef Essberger, an English-born writer/photographer
and teacher with 10 years’ experience teaching English in Europe
and Asia, englishclub.com is a Cambridge, England site that has
quickly developed into one of the leading language instruction
sites on the Web.
“I
think of englishclub.com as a real ‘club’ that belongs to the
visitors, who can participate online in a friendly environment
that encourages ‘learning by doing’,” explains Josef Essberger,
who sees no conflict between free online sites like englishclub.com
and conventional language schools and publishers. englishclub.com
has 24 main sections covering the four language skills plus grammar,
vocabulary and pronunciation, as well as interactive areas such
as eFriends, Forum and Chat, and special sections for teachers.
Its 24-hour HelpDesk is loved by students who ask grammar questions
online and receive answers from HelpDesk Teachers such as Alan
Bunyan in Japan or Sandra Goronas in Argentina. One of its most
popular email services is “7 Secrets for EFL/ESL Students”.#
