This is an excellent, frequently updated collection of links especially appropriate for ESL/ELL learners and instructors. The site's creator is a teacher himself. We do not usually list "hotlists" of links, but these are quite helpful for ESL teachers or those with ESL students in their classroom. Check here if you're looking for help with a specific language learning need or some new way to present standard materials. The teacher section include links categorized by native language so you can individualize your approach with different language learners.

This fairly extensive picture dictionary uses photographs, not drawings, to assist language learners to see the real thing! Besides defining the word the student selects to look up, other items in the photo are also labeled so that learning vocabulary can occur in chunks, thus making it more meaningful and comprehensive. Site users may add to an archive of quizzes on the dictionary's word list.

tag(s): speech (66), vocabulary (236)

In the Classroom

A great dictionary site to bookmark on your classroom computers for limited English speakers! This one would also be good for speech and language practice for special ed both at home and at school.

TeachersFirst provides these descriptions of ESL levels to help you think about what your student may be capable of doing in your class. These will also help in dialog with other teachers who work with this student. If you have an ESL/ELL specialist available for consultation, you may want to talk to him/her about where your students fit in this continuum.

In the Classroom

ELL teachers, refer this site to teachers who are new to teaching English language learners and may be unsure of how to incorporate the student in a general education classroom.

Learn and make mental notes about which sounds Japanese-speakers have difficulty with in learning English. MP3 files play the example sounds for you (with a British accent). You will need a plug-in such as Windows Media Play to make these play.

tag(s): japan (56), japanese (47), pronunciation (33)

In the Classroom

Use this site as a introductory activity during a Japanese language class. This would be a great site to use during a discussion of how to properly make sounds in the Japanese language that may be initially difficult for English learners. Let students work in pairs on this site, helping each other practice the pronunciations.

Your class is welcoming some ENL/ESL students. Here are some tips for starting out right with newcomers who speak little or no English.

VOA offers audio and written radio scripts of a wide range of news stories in areas including science, agriculture, culture, health, and education. The language used is simple, and the stories are read more slowly than the average radio broadcast. The site includes its own dictionary ("Word Book") and pronunciation guide, as well as links to many other features. Contains RealAudio and MP3 downloadable audio files. If you have high speed internet, you can also use the streaming option.

tag(s): agriculture (48), news (229)

In the Classroom

Use this simplified news site to help students improve listening skills and vocabulary while learning about current events. This is an easy way to differentiate for students who process information more slowly as English language learners or for other reasons.
