This site has many world languages and teaching/learning materials for these languages. English is one of them and there are many documents available. All the documents are peer reviewed and given stars so that you know how well these activities worked in the past.

Memrise is a site similar to Quizlet. For language learning, you can build vocabulary decks and then the site gives you a variety of quiz-type activities to review them. There is some multimedia support (pictures, and sound, if I remember right). It uses a metaphorical "garden" for you to track your progress with each item. An instructor (or individual) can compose a custom deck and share it with students. Also, students (or any other learner) can add information to the vocab item- more definitions, mnenomics, example sentences, etc. I haven't had the chance to use it with a class, but I've played with it for my own language learning. Like most flash card type schemes, if you can make it a habit, it seems to be effective.

Another "inforgraph" site. Templates are pretty nice and allow students/teachers to create aesthetically pleasing visual texts easily.

Piktochart is an Infographic creation site. It allows you (and students) to make a variety of different visual texts, as well as slideshows and other multimedia texts. It can serve as a nice alternative to PowerPoint.

This innovative language learning video game will complement students' classroom English language instruction through interactive 3-D multimedia learning adventures. Trace Effects is geared for players aged 12-16.

A (currently) free site hosted by Michigan State University that allows users to upload multimedia files, create portfolios, and share them with others. This could be useful for having students create a portfolio that includes presentations, audio files, and writing. Also includes sample lesson plans with project ideas.
