Hello!
I suppose that I need deeper immersion to understand whether the service is good or bad, suitable or unsuitable for me, matches my goals and needs. And I also should surf these services with certain intention. So I can judge them only on the basis of their interface, not their content. And there're some facts that I've understood.
1. It' s better when there is no registration and you can surf the page freely.
2. Also it helps you to start thinking in english from the beginning when the service is in english, but it's easier to understand if the service is useful for your specific goals at first sight when it's in russian(http://www.24english.ru/multimedia/programs-english/380-tell-me-more).
3. I think that it's a big disadvantage that there are long texts and a lot of different multicolored pictures on the main page, so, your attention is scattered.
4. There're some sites that don't look modern and up-to date( www.azargrammar.com/materials/index.html, http://literacynet.org/learningresources, http://fsm-portal.net/video_lessons/1119-professor-xiggins-anglijskij-bez-akcenta-versiya-61.html) and some have unfriendluy interface.
5. I think that very few are really good structured(https://www.pearson.com/english/myenglishlab.html).
But there are some that I really like.
They are www.rosettastone.com, http://englishpronunciationcourse.com/, https://www.monash.edu/rl, http://www.ets.org/toeic/test-takers, https://www.pearson.com/english/myenglishlab.html.
https://www.britishcouncil.org/
is the service that I find useful for our skills in teaching english language.
There is the ability to join a community of teachers to invest in our professional development. I think it's very helpful to read some tips and advices from teachers all over the world. You can use their self-assessment tool to receive a recommended individual course of study. They help to gain new techniques. You can find valuable help and opportunities: different sorts of information, expert advice, teaching tips and materials, articles, dicsussions, activities and support. Support is very important either for us-students or for working teachers.
There're lots of moduls and full tutored courses. This service can also help to build your confidence, that I think is very important when you're only on initial stage of your teaching career.
