I had heard of Crayon Physics before, but had never tried it. Very cool. TPR, predictions, and other functions would work well with that.<br />
<br />
Language Garden is another interesting one. Possibly good for my writing classes.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

There is a British software company (that I am not at all related with) that made a beautiful mindmap¨/ interactive program with 600 activities. Nouns blue, verbs red, etc, so that vocabulary is sorted. you can see some of it at <a href="http://www.languagegarden.org">www.languagegarden.org</a> .<br />

I also like the pre-language generative qualities of crayon physics delux, there is a free version, and you can use it in class to set group tasks... download the program, play with it, and you will…

Hi Faiza,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the link to your site. I'll check it out.<br />
<br />
There have been some good suggestions here, but I haven't discovered anything new over the last year. I don't really expect to. I don't even think that what I am looking for exists. It is a dream of what I can't have....yet :) There are combination of sites and technologies that can be used for language education. That's always been the case, but there is nothing that fits the complete bill.<br />

Hi Dan,<br />
You can check out my website <a href="http://www.wordahead.com">www.WordAhead.com</a> and see if it works for you and your students. It is a website for vocabulary building using fun illustrations and video clips. Students are encouraged to upload their work to the website while teachers may direct activities or assign word projects to the students.<br />
Since this discussion was started over a year ago, i hope you have found some good tools already. If you have, do share.

Hi Sarah,<br />
<br />
Automated feedback is easy, the problem is sophisticated feedback. This is where work in AI comes in handy, yet anything produced from this is rather expensive. Again, though, this is my problem. There have been many promises for language learning software in the the last 20+ years, but the programs out today are very, very similar to their ancestors. The images, animation, video, and so forth are much better, but the feedback is pretty much the same.<br />

Peanut Butter Sticks looks really interesting. Not everything that I'm looking for, but a good start. Is there any way to get a demo? (not the video on the website) I didn't see one on the site.<br />

I think you will be hard pressed to find language learning software that provides automated feedback generated by your students. However I am glad that I found your blog because you validate my company's existence. Most language software on the market is either over priced, completely irrelevant, or just plain doesn't work. Our software will be available in April 2009 and will offer a lot of really cool features. If you are interested please visit:<br />

I agree with you. I'm actually working on a project to develop an EFL product for, English language learners, based on Captivate. Right now I'm a little stumped on strategies for the discovery phase.<br />
I'd love to hear your ideas.<br />

Thanks.<br />
