The document discusses exploiting web-based sources to set work for English language learners to complete at home. It introduces two free tools, Educannon and Scrible, that allow teachers to take authentic video and text content and add interactive tasks and questions. This helps support learners studying online by making the content more engaging and allowing teachers to track their progress. Some example online resources are also provided, such as YouTube channels, TED Talks, and websites for reading practice.
