There is quite a lot of English language material online but motivation is always in the hands of the user. I am the webmaster of two training websites that motive. For those wishing to learn English www.onlineenglish.de and for thoise wishing to learn English and prepare for the TOEIC www.onlineenglish.de/toeicprep.

The creation of language training websites is a major task requiring a lot of creativity and I worked long and hard to finish them. I have just opened the new TOEIC preparation website and would welcome comments for improvement, marketing ideas, offers of partnrship ...etc

I would be very pleased if you would consider adding my websites to your links.
