Website
One:
http://www.starfall.com/n/N-info/educators.htm
- Helps young children learn to read. Research based materials focused on the "big five" recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Development. It is a website, but it links you to various apps for young children. It would work for younger learners if English of L1 and L2. It also works with common core. There is also a section for math and music.The games look really fun, but most cost money to download. This would be a good free time activity to help learn English as well as getting experience with technology. This is more of an individual activity than a group one.
Website
Two:
http://www.elllo.org
- This website is geared towards older adults and listening skills. The website is created by and English teacher in Japan. The website ranges from videos, games, news stories and audio notes. It is a little wordier and so I think it would be better for older adults or more advanced English language learners. It would be able to use this more of a whole class and have them listen to clips and then work in groups. It would also be good for supplemental materials or homework. If you had enough computers, it could be a good tool for computer labs as well.
Website
Three:
http://www.eslmania.com/students/students.htm
- This is a website that is geared towards adult learners and focuses more on skills needed as an ELL. Some of the focuses are idioms, grammar, business language, accent reduction, ESL books and more. I think this website can be beneficial, but I think it might be geared towards assimilation. I especially love the idioms section because I think this would be one of the most confusing things while learning English. It would be a useful tool to create lessons for the class using it as a starting point.
Website
Four:
- This is a great website for teaching English grammar. Grammar is often overlooked because it is more important to try speaking a language and make mistakes than not trying. Nonetheless Grammar is important and this website provides information in an easy format. This would be great to use in class during free time or have a small group teach a subtopic within in grammar to the class.
