Beginning self-guided English lessons. Free to students. Quite a lot of components. Good for at home / computer lab practice for Level 1 & Level 2 students.

online reading with self-quizzes. "Beginner" actually seems like low intermediate to me. Not a lot of articles currently but good resource for self student

Another good site for self study and possible supplemental class use, especially for Level 1 & 2.

Self study site for ESL for grammar/editing practice. Short grammar explanations and practice exercises. Free for students & teacher but need to set up an account

A well considered piece on the value of "not knowing" and how teachers can leverage this into a positive, rather than a negative. Looks at the need for students to understand the value of connecting to the information, rather than learning simple because it's expected.

Not much revolutionary here, but points 3 & 4 are good reminders of the importance of connecting English to real world uses and of the value of fomulative assessments like exit slips, etc.

good at home study site, especially for lower levels (even pre-1!). Has vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc. with a strong focus on beginning survival vocabulary.

Many, many instructional videos covering a wide range of topics in English -- grammar, business English, pronunciation, etc.

Short video (5 minutes) with study tips. Not necessarily new but I got some ideas about activities that have students "teach" the material. Level 5 & Level 6 students might be able to watch and understand. Would be a good session intro video / ideas to work into (I know, we tell these to our students 100 times and they don't listen...maybe if they see a video on it from someone else & then is teacher reinforced, it might stick better?)

Lots of interactive reading / video activities with interactive exercises. Readings are leveled according to Common European Framework. Good computer lab resource. For addition reading selections, use this link: http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/reading-skills-practice
