WIKI

-

Hello again! Today I took a glance at Wiki that we can use while learning english. Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content.



1. TEFLPEDIA

Teflpedia is a wiki dedicated to everything associated with teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) or second language (TESL). Teflpedia have an extensive glossary plus a series of conversation questions.

  • o   There you can create articles and share your experience with others; 
  • o   Teflpedia has articles which include advice for new teachers; 
  • o   Teflpedia serves as a quick reference providing useful links to an almost infinite number of resources and dedicated websites available on internet; 
  • o   There you can participate in ongoing debates.

Actually, I have never heard about such a wiki before. But I think it's very useful resource, aspecially for my future profession. And I'm sure I will try to use it more throughly.

2. WIKIPEDIA
Wikipedia is a free, open content online encyclopedia created through the collaborative effort of a community of users known as Wikipedians. Anyone registered on the site can create an article for publication; registration is not required to edit articles. The site's name comes from wiki, a server program that enables anyone to edit Web site content through their Web browser.

It's a very useful resource where you can find almost any information on any topic that you need. Information base is updated every day. And as a student I use this wiki service very often.
