The Internet as a Tool for Assisting English Language Learners - Kelly Romero

Web Based Tools for ESL/ELL Students

In conjunction with my last post, this internet search has helped me to find web resources for teaching and supporting English Language Learners. In my previous post I discussed the importance and the usefulness of using the internet and other technology to support diverse learners. The same principles apply when teaching ELL students.
In this post I would like to bring attention to a website that I found that includes resources for ELL students, teachers, librarians and parents. The website http://www.dist113.org/ includes links that teachers can use to participate in forums about teaching ELL students as well different techniques, and activities to use in the classroom, including web resources. The site also includes links to websites that students can use to participate in activities on their own to improve literacy and language skills. This website would be a resource to any teacher who is looking to diversify their instruction for ELL students as well as any parent who would like to assist their child at home.
