What is Coolhood?
Coolhood is a free website for people that study
English as a second language. On this site you can access interesting articles,
video and audio files that will improve your language skills. All of this
material is designed to be fun, because that’s exactly what learning
should be. How
much does it cost?
It’s 100% free! Our website generates revenue
from sponsorships and advertising, which allows us to offer this service
to you at no charge.
You
say Coolhood is designed to be fun. How so?
Our articles, video and audio files stick closely
to pop culture, covering topics like lifestyles, trends, music, film,
fashion, travel, health, sports, culture and so on. Our goal is to keep
it hip and fun. Spend some time on our site and you will see that for
yourself.
Why
is it important that I enjoy Coolhood?
If it is interesting you will keep coming back.
If you keep coming back you will improve your English skill more rapidly.
Moreover, you might find that because our material is interesting, you
will have an easier time focusing, that you retain more, and reach a higher
level of understanding.
I’ve
registered for the site. Now what?
Go to the content and start learning. Read an article.
Listen to an audio or video clip. Once you have done that you will be
asked a few questions. If you answer the questions correctly, that’s
great! If not, don’t worry because you will be guided to the correct
answer and will learn in the process. Once you have answered all of the
questions you will be rewarded points.
I’ve
completed all of the current and archived material. Now what should I
do?
Well done! Completing the material takes you a
step closer to your goal of learning English. However, if you want to
continue to develop you should take a little time to review all that you
have learned from the material. Perhaps you want to read an article or
watch a video a second time? Or maybe you want to review some of the vocabulary
that you have been introduced to?
I
just read my first article. Now what should I do?
Keep going. Read another article, listen to an
audio file or watch a video file. Check out our archives for additional
material.
My
teacher asked me to join Coolhood. Can my teacher access my scores?
Yes. Your teacher will be able to access your scores.
They will also be able to tell what activities you’ve done and which ones you haven’t done.
How they use this information is up to their discretion.
Tell
me about your sponsors.
Coolhood couldn’t exist were it not for our
sponsors. These organizations should be commended for their dedication
towards English language development, and for recognizing the importance
of relevant and enjoyable learning outside of the classroom.
Is
your advertising going to annoy me?
At Coolhood we make every effort to keep our advertisements
as unobtrusive as possible. Our goal is to display advertising that doesn’t
deceive, and that is relevant to our members. We don’t allow annoying
advertising techniques, such as pop-ups.
