Welcome to Love4English!
My hearty interest in seeking new teaching methods and activities to stimulate my students’ interest led me to the creation of this site. Love4english focuses mainly on interactive learning because young learners can consolidate the language better when they are involved in activities in which they have an active role. The site aims to provide materials as well as teaching tips to teachers of English. All the materials have been created with great enthusiasm and above all love for my students. Love4english includes articles, flashcards, games, worksheets, and lesson plans.
