SIMON'S ELT GOLEM
Welcome to my web page. It's called "Simon's ELT Golem" after the original Golem, a creature created in old Prague by Rabbi Loew as a labour-saving device to help his people in hard times. I'm a teacher of English in the Czech Republic and I want this to be a modern equivalent to help busy teachers of English by acting as a gateway to sites which have something interesting to offer on the chaotic world of the Web. I have also now added some reviews and plan to add articles and a selection of teaching materials one of these days.

The very simple (some would say primitive!) design is deliberate, so as not to waste your time. If you have any suggestions, comments etc, contact me:

gill@pdfnw.upol.cz

I've visited all the sites listed here and I believe that all of them have something of interest. I have deliberately not included any sites which require payment - they are all free. I would greatly welcome any feedback or comments and, particularly, recommendations for gems to add to the list. Also, URLs can change quickly, so please do tell me if you find that any of these have changed or "died".

I plan to update this page regularly and to add new things to it, so why not bookmark it and drop in from time to time?
