As I mentioned earlier this week, because of an unexpected substantial increase in our student enrollment and the resulting scheduling challenges, I volunteered to convert one period of my Beginning and Intermediate English Language Learner class into a Geography class. I think Geography is a great tool for language acquisition.
I have a more expansive The Best Websites For Learning & Teaching Geography list, but I thought readers might find it useful to see the sites I plan to primarily use in this class. I’ll be expanding the number of sites, but these are a good start:

Hi Larry, to this list, perhaps you’d consider adding Harnu. We’re at http://www.harnu.com. Connecting people around the world in their own language. Thanks!
Do have suggestions for sites for teaching landforms?
Thanks in advance,
