USA Learns -

USA Learns is a complete ELL online course (free) that can be used for older students or adults. They would need to have access to computer, headphones, and microphone but then they can work through the modules at their own pace. A teacher can set up a teacher account which would allow them to track the progress of the learner. A record is kept of the scores on each module. There are 3 courses that vary by level (Novice - Intermediate- and Advanced). Themes and topics cover life skills that students will need to know to live in an English speaking country. USA Learns

Colorin Colorado

Colorin Colorado is one of my favorite websites and is completely free. (Link found to the right). It is a valuable site not only for educators but also for families of English Language Learners. Teachers can view classroom videos or find helpful information for teaching content area classes. In their resource library you will find other links to explore.
