As I shared last month (see Beginning A New “Best” Series Of Interest To ELL Teachers), I’m beginning to create an updated series of “Best” lists for Beginning English Language Learners. They will ultimately replace the resources I have on my outdated website.
I began with:
The Best Resources For Helping ELLs Learn About Sports & Other Fun Activities
The Best Resources For Helping ELLs Learn About U.S. Money
The Best Resources For Helping Beginner ELLs Learn About Space & Planets
The Best Resources For Helping Beginner ELLs Learn About “Feelings”
I also have The Best Websites For Students Exploring Jobs and Careers and The Best Places For Students To Write Their Resumes, but many of those resources are not accessible to ELL Beginners.
Many of the links are the still-active ones I copied-and-pasted from my website. Please let me know if you have additional suggestions of sites to add:
Larry, I love all these resources, but I’m seeing a lot of white faces. Is there a way to update with more culturally reflective resources? It’s easier to get students to get excited about something if they can see themselves.
Good point, Beth. I’ll see if I can find some add them to the post. And if you happen to find any, please let me know. Thanks.
