Cambridge Dictionary is totally free, it has got five types of dictionaries ("Advanced Learner's", "Learner's", "American English", "Idioms" and "Phrasal Verbs"), translation, how to pronounciate (both British and American pronounciation), word/image ("picture of the day"), semantic, network, phonetic transcription and thematic general words.
It also offers a wide variety of grammar exercises to be done online, including the final scores and solutions. The list of resources is available from the home page. These resources are focused on listening, reading and writing.
After having gone through an exercise for elementary level, aimed at students aged 12-14, having in mind to test the students' ability dealing with elementary grammar structures, we came to the conclusion that, without being a boring task, it's rather useful for students to practise on dealing with the same topic in several different ways.
Please specify the dictionaries available within Cambridge; beware of the lack of some capitals; and present links to the activities. A suggestion would be to insert the link for the dictionary somewhere else, instead of at the end.
