5 Must-Have Apps for Lexis Students

These days, learning English has evolved past writing lines and drilling vocabulary. In the modern English classroom, apps play an important role in the language learning process. Here is a list of 5 must-have apps for every Lexis Brisbane student!

5. Cambridge English Dictionary

The first of our must-have apps is the Cambridge English Dictionary app. This app has everything that you would expect from a regular dictionary plus lots of additional features! It has both the UK and US pronunciation of words, a smart thesaurus option and clear examples. Perfect for all English learners.

4. LearnEnglish Sounds Right

LearnEnglish Sounds Right is a completely free app from the British English Council that helps English learners with pronunciation using phonetics. The app uses the phonetic alphabet and voice recordings to help learners practice the sounds. There are also examples of words that use each sound to help you practise using the sounds while speaking.

3. Quizlet

Quizlet is an app that uses flashcards to help users memorise content. You can create flashcard ‘sets’ to practice groups of words. We suggest sorting your flashcards by your course unit or alternatively, you can use the pre-made sets that use the content from our Empower textbooks.

Quizlet is an excellent tools for students who want to increase their vocabulary and test their knowledge. Because you only need your phone, you can use this app to make your commute a quick study session.

Many of our teachers use Quizlet in the classroom and our students love the Quizlet class quizzes as review activities.
