The English Alley

The English Alley is a 100% free website designed to help students and teachers improve their English vocabulary.

Here you can find plenty of drawings that show the different vocabulary terms organized into themes (house, park, school...) When you put the cursor over the drawings you will hear the pronunciation of the words, and if you click on many of them it will give you access to a new vocabulary page.

Step by step, the page is growing and offering new contents (video, grammar, etc.) So visitors to The English Alley will find in the near future a better resource for teaching and learning ESL with an easy navigation and a very visually-pleasing interface.
