Activities for ESL Students - 1 views

    "Quizzes, tests, exercises and puzzles to help you learn English as a Second Language (ESL). This project of The Internet TESL Journal (iteslj.org) has thousands of contributions by many teachers." This site offers quizzes and crosswords for students learning English as well as bilinbual quizzes that take the students first language into account. It has a pretty large bilingual quiz base that uses many of the worlds languages from Zulu to Spanish to Arabic. It seems to be a little childish looking and there aren't a ton of quizzes to choose from but it could definitely be a good resource for extra practice for students.

Common Errors in English Usage - 1 views

  •  
    This site has a list of hundreds of the most common mistakes that learners make when learning English that students could reference when they get feedback from their teachers. It is a little messy looking as a website so I wouldn't use it as a teacher or use it a lot but it is a good quick reference if students can't remember the difference say between explicitly and implicitly.

English Homework Help - 1 views

  •  
    "These video chapters and web resources will assist students with their written and verbal communication skills. Content areas included are grammar, composition, and mechanics from Kindergarten to Grade 12." This site can also help supplement classroom material for students still in the k-12 grades who need to get better at their English language proficiency. This could especially be helpful for students who enter the American school system who speak a different L1 at home.

Help for Students Learning English - 0 views

    "Learn English with our free tools for ESL students, including English language references, activities including tests and polls, and articles on English usage. Our ESL forum is the perfect place get help learning English, where people are online to answer your questions 24 hours a day." This site can be very useful for students who need to practice English for Specific Purposes because it has like a Business English section and common idioms section. I don't feel that this site would replace a classroom very well but could easily be used as supplementary to a classroom and a place where students can ask questions if they don't want to bother their teachers.

English Listening - 0 views

    This site is a good resource for listening practice. The site offers a proficiency test so that students can figure out what level of listenings they should start with. Then they have a page full of different recordings from English speakers all over the world so that students can get more familiar with different accents. Finally the students can take a test that will tell them whether or not they understood the passage.

    This website has multiple things to hep both students and teachers. Students can work on different skills from grammar to pronunciation on this website and teachers can get ideas and connect with other teachers through forums. Also this site posts ESL jobs so if a teacher is looking for a job this website is a good resource.

Virlantis Virtual Language Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This site provides lessons for differing level of English speakers (as well as some other languages) They are free and happen at the same times every week. The downside is that there are not very many different lessons and they work through Second Life which is a free virtual world. You have to make an avatar and then go to the virtual site of the lesson in order to participate. This could be very fun for some learners because it is kind of like playing a video game that also has language lessons.

    "Learn English online and prepare for IELTS with Languagelab. Practise with a qualified English speaking teacher, students from more than 70 countries, and learn English online." This is the selling pitch for Languagelab.com. It is a good resource for learners who aren't able to get to a classroom or have very limited availability because they have classes 24 hours. The courses are all online, but they do cost money, although not as much as a university class would cost.

Draw Something - 2 views

  •  
    Draw something is another game that is kinda like words with friends. One person draws a picture and sends it to their friend who then has to guess what the word is. The game gives you multiple letters to choose from, that form the word with some false letters in there too, so its not just completely random guessing which helps considerably. This game has the same limitations that Words with Friends has although I believe that it can be used with intermediate levels of learners because the letters to the words are provided when guessing and also there are different levels of words one can choose to draw.

BBC's Language Learning for Free - 3 views

  •  
    The BBC put this website together to help individuals learn languages on their own time. The site offers 12 week on-line language courses for free as well as links to other useful resources for learning a second language. It is an easy website to use and very useful for students who want to do some extensive listening in the language they are trying to learn because it provides links to movies, children's show, news feeds, etc. that the student can listen to.
