https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/

1. ·         This website attempts to help non-native speaker of English to learn and have extra exercise for English online. They can look information about the English language on this site. They can also learn English words, practise grammar, look at some basic rules, prepare for exams, do tests or just have fun playing games involving the language. There are multiple choice questions and also comprehension type of questions in this website. Putting it in simpler words, the type of questions involves the type where the response can be given immediately. There are also different levels of difficulties that user can use when browsing the website
2. ·         Visitors/Learners can freely use the website as they think fit as there is no logging in or registration required from them. All they have to do is choose the tabs on the left hand side according to what kind of exercise or lesson that they want.
3. ·         This website provides something different than day-to-day class as the feedback received by the visitors is immediate. They don't have to wait for a long time to receive the feedback and thus do some reflection on their weakness points or identifying parts that they do not understand. Besides that, this websites also provides detailed but easy to understand notes regarding grammar and parts of speech. The explanation for these might be easy to find in higher institution classroom but not in secondary or primary schools. Therefore, if students are able to access to this websites, it'll be a good opportunity for them
4. ·         The theory is Krashen’s Monitor Model in which this theory says language learning is conscious and driven by error correction,grammar structures are acquired in a predictable order, language acquisition occurs with comprehensible input (i.e. hearing or reading things that are just slightly above our current language level). These theories is used when students are doing the exercise and learned immediately from their mistakes and also the fact that they can choose the level of the questions by themselves, they are able to choose questions that are slightly above their level.
5. ·         Through this website, students will definitely be able to learn something. This is because, through the exercises that are provided by this website, students will be able to test their understanding. The immediate feedback will also help students to pinpoint their weaknesses and work towards perfecting the flaws. Besides that, the notes provided in the website is easier to understand and instead of flipping through boring pages, they can just click to jump from one notes to another.
6. ·         I would love to use this website in my future work. As a teacher in Education 4.0 era, it is enviable that I will use technology in my classroom. However, finding the right website or application could be difficult since certain website can provide wrong information and ineffective exercises. In my opinion, this website could help me fulfil the aim of Education 4.0 and at the same time helps my students to improve in the future.
