Many of us are lucky enough to have computers in our homes. With adult supervision, computers and the internet can be great teaching tools. There are many websites designed to help English Language Learners learn more about the English language and practice using it. I've listed just a few websites that you can access with your children to help them have fun with language while they're learning about it.
www.enchantedlearning.com offers many exciting activities, pictures and even translations from a variety of languages to English.
www.manythings.org offers activities, lessons and quizzes for English Language Learners of various ages and levels.
http:a4esl.org has puzzles, quizzes and translations from many languages.
www.picturedictionary.com has pictures showing many words in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
www.starfall.com All children can enjoy hearing stories read to them through their computer as they look at the pictures.
www.learnenglish.org has fun grammar games for all levels.
www.eslcafe.org has all kinds of information on learning English, including quizzes, parts of speech, hard-to-translate idioms and more. Just click on "Stuff for Students" at the top of the page.
**While the internet is an excellent resource for learning, and I recommend all students use appropriate educational websites, I encourage parents to closely monitor students while on the computer. I'd also encourage families to place computers in a public area of the house!**
