ESL Madness

My job has been saved by a number of fantastic websites over the last year. I cannot thank them enough! Some of the activities from these sites have become favorites, and I’ve linked to many of them on this site. Here are the Champion Sites:

GenkiEnglish
A great place for ideas, articles, and inspiration.

Dave’s ESL Cafe
More ideas than you can throw in a bucket.

Boggles World, aka Lanternfish
A fantastic, easy-to-use website with printable worksheets and fully planned lessons, geared towards all ages.

The Internet TESL Journal
I couldn’t have survived a year of teaching English in Japan without this site. If you teach English, go to this site.

Three Wise Monkeys
A site developed and maintained by a group of ALT’s (assistant language teachers) in the Japanese public school system. Well-categorized, the site has a wealth of fun activities to get the students going.

Karin’s ESL Partyland
A great resource for all ages. As Karin puts it “The Cool Way to Learn English”

ESL Flow
A wealth of lesson plans and ideas categorized well, although extensively. This site takes a little time to get around in, but is usually well worth it.
