I found the website http://www.eslpartyland.com/ , this is a website which is help us to learn English and teach English, because this website has 2 sides, for the teacher can use teach English side and for the students can use learn English side.

This website provides example of conversation for teaching speaking, teacher can get the material from this website. For students, this website can help them to learning English.

This website is good because we can choose any topics from here for example we can choose movies as the topic to practice English. This website divided into 2 sides, there are learn English and teach English, learn English is the page for the students and teach English is for the teacher. This website completed with any categories for example teaching conversation, teaching grammar, teaching listening and speaking, etc. Each categories also divided into some subcategories which is contains of topics. For example we choose teaching conversation, in teaching conversations we can find some topics like Houses & Architecture , Politics & Government , Animals & Pets , Socializing & Friendship , Entertainment , The Media , Movies , Music. This website also completed with quizzes and games which is divided into some categories, for example business English, grammar, idioms, slang & phrasal verbs, vocabulary, etc. students or teacher can choose what categories they want.
