What we don´t like about the site: we did not like about this site is that there is a lot of exercises that you have to pay a membership to access them. The site does not have an index to guide you in the page. It has a poor main page (it does not have images, graphics etc.) so, to some people do not call the attention. It provides a few lessons.
ESL/EFL Pedagogical implications of the site: the site is helpful to ESL/EFL learners who want to know how good is their grammar, vocabulary, writing and reading comprehension.
