Very Cool Website "Voscreen"

      Hi all, it's me again! In this post I will introduce you a website called "Voscreen". At first I want to say that this website can help you to practice your vocabulary knowledge and you can learn some new words via funny videos.
   
      The creator of the "Voscreen" is Deniz Dündar and he graduated from METU.  Here is an interview with him about the site.



      The website has a lot of short videos. The system of the website is watching videos, listening the sentences and trying to translate them in your language. This method is very useful to learn new words, for example I didn't know what "requisite" means but while I was capturing a screenshot for this post I learned it! It means "gerekli, elzem" in Turkish.

      Voscreen has videos from at the level of the kids to advanced level, so anyone can sign up and start to watch videos and practice. It aims to teach words without using a dictionary so the learner can learn and use these words fluently.

      The website doesn't have any update time written on it and the videos are all high quality and I think they appeal the target audience. For example the next screenshot is taken from kids section and the video taken from a animated film "Toy Story 3":

     How To Use?

     When you select the level, you see a video. After it finishes two button appears and the website wants you to choose one. The button on the left doesn't show the subtitle but the right one does.

      In EFL teaching, a teacher can use this website as a second vocabulary practising tool, so I recommend this website to Teachers.
