ESL Resources

I decided to pick option #3 for this assignment, as finding resources for teaching ESL will come in handy for me in the future. I have to admit that I got a little frustrated finding ESL sites to subscribe to, as many of the great sites that I found, did not include an RSS feed. I even thought about trying to make my own RSS feed, but I'm not that advanced yet.

At anyrate, I found three sites that gave a lot of information on helping students learn English as a second language, especially for children. One of my favorite sites that did not have an RSS feed even offered some ESL song to help children learn English. The ones that I did fine however, had worksheets, sample Lesson Plans, and links to other sites that would help as well.

English Forums
had many places for people to go and ask for help, such as forums for vocabulary and grammar, as well as a forum for common idioms used.

Teach ESL For Kids
was a great site for teachers and parents looking for information on any and all facets of ESL. It even had links to some of my favorite ESL sites, such as Dave's ESL Cafe.

ESL for Adults
is actually a blog, but it offered a lot of great resources for adults learning ESL and had links to many other great sites.

All three of these sites would offer me as a teacher a great place to find worksheets and other teaching materials for my classes. It would also give me a place to send parents and students if they are having trouble or just would like some extra support in learning English. I think having these sites as resources for my teaching is great, as I know that there are many other people in my position that can help me with my classes and with individual students that might need a little extra attention.
