Interaction : In this website there is no interaction because you can only play games, listen to a song and practice your listening, etc.; but you can not share what you have learned with other students through this website.

Authentic Audience: You can not appreciate authentic audience in this website due to the fact that there is no anybody to listen to you , the only person that is allowed to do it is the teacher that is guiding you to do the activities , but it is a just a little help.

Meaningful activities-student: All the activities are very meaningful for kids and teenagers owing to the fact that they are very interesting, entertaining and useful, because through a song you can put in practice your listening, reading for every son has its letter, grammar cause this website can help you to be more accurate, and you can add a lot of vocabulary. But it is not all, apart from that, you can have fun!

Exposure to varieties of language: The students are exposed to a lot of different kind of activities to learn English and to improve it. You can find out English through a song, a game , a story , a picture, etc.

Right amount of time: All the activities are designed for kids and teenager that is why that they have to be short in order that the students do not get bored.

Feedback: It has some quizzes in which you can receive the correct answer for each question.

Use of styles: this website is especially for people who prefer listening and watching.

Use of personalities: through this website shy students can improve their English skills like extrovert people, because they do not have to interact with classmates and the teacher , for this reason they feel more comfortable.

Motivation: this website is a good tool to help the teacher to make the class more dynamic and interesting for the student due to the fact that it has many topics for every student , for example sports, food, animals, cloths, etc.

Student-centered: All the activities are centered in the students because the teacher is only a guide who helps them when they have a doubt about something related to this website.

Teacher support: As I said before the teacher is only a guide .

Multimodality: You can show information related to the English topics through songs, games and pictures. It is a good way to change the routine where the teacher only speaks in a regular class.

Comfortable Environment: this website has everything to have a nice environment because nobody is putting you under pressure to answer a question , or makes you to do a boring workshop; for the contrary you can work by yourself in a class or at home.

To integrate the Skills: It integrate listening, reading, grammar , and writing (because I found it today)skills. There are no opportunities to develop speaking because there are no activities to do it.

Clear Objectives: I would recommend that the teacher has to give the objectives before starting the class in order that the students can focus on one topic, but the website present the objectives clearly.
