 * Creating Materials **

toc **Web-based exercises and activities** are a wonderful and motivating way for students to practice the four main skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - in diversified ways. Some materials creation software allows for separate practice of one or two skills, other allows for the "4-in-1" model, so to say.

We will look at different exercise-maker programs, some in more detail than others: Hot Potatoes (HotPot), EclipseCrossword (EC), Quizlet and SurveyMonkey (SM). You will need to download some of them. **Remember to create a different folder for each**.
