It's a very useful website to have access to. The only thing I have ever found difficult about it is the cost.

Reply from This is School:Hi John, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts about This is School! We're especially pleased to hear about how we've helped to make marking and monitoring of student progress easier for you, and also vocabulary knowledge increasing. We hope your students continue to enjoy hearing from native speakers, too!
John Robertson found This is School:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    The marking and monitoring of student progress is made very much easier, the same is true of creating worksheets to go with video content.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    This depends on what teaching efficiency is taken to mean, but I think exposing students to multiple native speakers is a great thing to be able to do in a classroom.
  • Does not significantly improve teacher wellbeing
    I think teachers will certainly enjoy using the site, but that their wellbeing is typically dependent on other aspects of the job.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    Listening and reading skills are most improved along with vocabulary learning.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    As above really - vocabulary knowledge is increased as well as knowledge about different accents of native speakers
