Wordshop

Wordshop is a simple yet quite efficient application designed to allows teachers to create and edit language lessons, by adding various words, synonyms and usage examples, or other additional information, which they can present in front of the class.

The program is fairly simple to install and handle, requiring minimal levels of experience with computers. When launching the tool for the first time, you have the option of creating a new user, so all the lessons you create can be assign to you.

However, the utility enables multiple people to work with Wordshop, by creating individual users, and preserving their settings for the next time they want to create lessons.

Wordshop is particularly useful when trying to teach foreign languages, as it offers you the ability to enter the terms and their equivalents in the target language, as well as other details about them.

For each newly created lesson, you will need to enter a ''Title', 'Topic', 'Author' and 'Image', choose the languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian and several others), as well as the preferred fonts. It even supports several special characters.

Afterward, you can move to the actual 'Entries', where you can input the words you want your students to learn, being able to add as many as you like. You can also choose its 'Form' as either verb, noun, adjective, adverb or other.

When you have completed entering all the information you needed for your lesson, you can switch to the 'Text' tab and view how it currently looks, or decide if any adjustments are required. Your completed lesson can then be saved to a VOK, TXT or RTF file, so you can further work with it on any system.

To summarize, Wordshop is a useful piece of software that can assist language teachers in creating, editing and developing vocabulary acquisition lessons, with minimal effort.
