ClarityEnglish publishes effective, enjoyable, easy-to-use online resources for teaching and learning English. Since 1992, their programs have helped students in specific language areas: grammar, reading, writing, pronunciation, study skills and IELTS.
Study Skills Success equips ESL learners not just with a range of study skills (Critical thinking, independent learning, avoiding plagiarism…), but also with the academic English that underpins them.
- For students, this program can make life easier by helping you to develop more effective and efficient study strategies.
- For teachers, this program is a source of supplementary activities for pre-sessional courses, or for use as a self-access resource.
Practical Writing is for students at Intermediate to Advanced level who need to use written English both at school and in their personal life. Whether in your studies or in your personal life, Practical Writing helps you structure your written English message, select the right vocabulary and choose the most appropriate style.
Tense Buster helps you break through the ESL grammar barrier.
Tense Buster has been adopted by the British Council worldwide. Each unit begins with a presentation based on a dialogue, news article or radio show, where learners are encouraged to form theories about how the grammar works. Next comes a grammar rule where they confirm or correct their theories before moving on to practice activities. These focus on form and function, and each unit includes a video-based pronunciation activity.
Units conclude with a randomised test enabling you to gauge your progress, and with suggestions for further study away from the computer. Throughout, the program includes detailed feedback in exercises to help you understand where you went wrong, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

Clear Pronunciation 1 enables learners to listen to and repeat audio models over and over, to do activities as many times as they like, and to make mistakes without embarrassment.
This program helps learners recognize and pronounce the 43 sounds of English: vowels, consonants and diphthongs. Students learn by watching videos, working with audio clips and by recording and listening to their own voice, using the integrated Recorder. Learners also meet the target sounds in real-world contexts, listening to a range of different accents, just as they will in real life. They learn to use the IPA, and to recognize and produce phonemic transcriptions.
And, in class, Clear Pronunciation 1 provides teachers both with consistent pronunciation models to drill, and with interactive activities to keep students focused, and their interest levels high.
