A new 30 minute video/webinar from NCFE (published May 25, 2021): aimed at teachers but includes many activities to share with learners.

These 10 minute tests are very good (one test at each level, each test has 15 multiple choice questions).  
Slightly disappointed that, unlike the maths ones, there is no guidance / explanations when you check your answers. 
However, I do like the:

• good curriculum coverage (grammar, purpose, organisational features, language features, vocabulary, punctuation, finding information, tense and more
• engaging texts
• clarity

These 10 minute tests are brilliant (one test at each level, each test has 12 multiple choice questions). 

Four things I really like are:

• Wide curriculum coverage
• Many can be answered using estimation/logic and thus teach valuable time-saving exam techniques
• Clarity
• Step by step  walk throughs of questions you get wrong

Masses of very good English writing ideas and resources. Compiled and created by Nicola Milton and contributors.
Resources are usefully arranged under the contexts used by Pearson and other AOs in the Reformed Functional English exams.

Topics include:

• Social Media
• Planning parties
• Holidays
• Renting a flat
• Fundraising
• Finding a job
• Music festivals
• Driving
• Etc. etc.

Wonderful interactive game where learners have to put 10 jumbled up sentences back together again.

The theme is  "expressing opinions" (either in writing or in SLC) and is aimed at L1-2 Functional English /ESOL. Also very useful as general practice with sentence structure, using punctuation to aid understanding, etc.  

Free "6 Minute Maths" Digital Learning resource! Entry Level to Level 2, no catch revise on your phone or tablet with this free very detailed 4 page PDF.
