Using 'Learning Chocolate' to teach/learn vocabulary

What is it, how does it work? (http://www.learningchocolate.com/)


Learning chocolate is a fun vocabulary learning platform on which learners could accumulate new words systematically and autonomously .

Some ideas about how we can use this website

• Use Learning Chocolate and the related exercises as a pre-reading/listening activity to activate students' schemata.
• Teach the new vocabulary in the class first, then ask students to work in pairs and compete to finish the following exercises.
• Make it a a regular homework for students to create their own vocabulary sets (with pictures) on the website and share it with other students. 
• Divide students in pairs and ask one students to pronounce the vocabulary and the other student to do the following fill-in exercise.

Why is this website good for English Language Teaching?

• The vocabulary provided on the website are sorted in a systematic way. (e.g. vocabulary about amusement park, car, etc.)
• All the vocabulary is explained by pictures, so it is very fun and straightforward to learn the new words.
• Various well-designed exercises are followed to help learners practice and memorize the new words.
• Pronunciation of the words are available. 
• The teacher/students are also allowed to add a new set of vocabulary on the web.

Limitations and possible points to improve. 

• No dictionary is available on the website to help learning
• Sine everyone can create and share their product on the web, some of them are not systematic enough or the pictures are not clear enough.
• The account doesn't keep a record of how many new words a student has learned.
• The website is still underdeveloped with not enough sets of vocabulary.
