Hi:

What are some of the best web materials available for ESL out there? apart from Dave's ESL cafe. How often do you use them and please let me know what your students think of them.

Thanks,

[emile]

I'll give my own site a quick plug: www.roadtogrammar.com

I like to use it with a projector and laptop; it projects well and is colourful and userfriendly.

I also use yahoo answers (www.answers.yahoo.com) a lot as it is a very natural way for students to interact. Not suitable for kids, though.

I would say though that there is quite a big difference in quality between a lot of the free material out there and the commercialised material.

I found this site by accident incidently:

www.coolhood.com

emile, I like your site a lot and I think it is very easy to use and friendly, something that most web based materials out there lack. Would like to post a blog/article on eslpundit.com on your site. Would you be interested in writing a few paragrah's on it and I could add my critique, which is of course positive as you can tell from my response.

with regards to coolhood, can't tell unless I register I guess and I am not too keen on scouting a site that hardly offers any insight before registering. Probably detracts others as well.

Here are two of mine

www.mes-english.com - Mostly resources for your lessons. The resources are geared towards young learners

www.marks-english-school.com/games.html - There are a few 'talking' vocab. builders, phonics programs and some grammar games.

OK, Rajen, check your PMs

[simplyesl]

everyone's gotta plug their own site (www.simplyesl.com) but i use mes marks - www.mes-english.com the writing wizard one - http://www.writingwizard.longcountdo...eet_maker.html
and this one, of course.

Cheers,
Eli

If you're talking about free materials, I recommend the BBC Learning English site. I use it a lot with my learners. If you're interested in more extended on-line courses, you generally need to pay for them. If you want web addresses and an evaluation of a few that I know about, PM me.
