Software and Materials for Students

latest update: Friday, March 14, 2003

  • For this website you need a browser version 5 or higher: I recommend Internet Explorer 5.5, or 6, and Netscape 7. I haven't tested current Opera versions. AOL browsers are not recommended as they display things differently. Check your specs here.

  • Make sure you have RealOne Basic or higher.

  • To create your own vocabulary exercises, download Hot Potatoes and register - it's free. Then send your up-to-date JMatch exercises to NGB. I will then put your flashcard and memory games (thanks to Michael Rottmeier) up on the website where you can find them in the work-records of your class site.

Hot Potatoes

FREEWARE for educational purposes. (I bought a license, as I have been commissioned to create e-learning materials for some companies)

A suite of 6 tools to create interactive web-pages. Current version 6

  • JBC for multiple choice tasks

  • JQuiz for short question and answer tasks

  • JCloze for gap-filling tasks

  • JMatch for all sorts of matching tasks, including Flashcards and memory games.

  • JMix for tasks to rebuild words or text 

  • JCross for crossword puzzles

Can also be used for creating handouts to be printed!

Definitely my favourite! 

Thanks Martin, Stewart and Michael!

  • A list of links with business English practice materials on-line (presented at a workshop in York on 20.12.2000)

  • You can also find loads of useful English language exercises on the Quia website. Check out the section on languages. 

  • Looking for English expressions for courses studied at our faculty? Check out an old official English version of our curriculum (Studienplan) which lists all subjects and courses. A new version will be available as soon as possible.
