I was browsing the internet and I found this excellent website, http://a4esl.org/, which contains several activites to help students learn the English language. Some of these activites include quizzes, tests, exercises, and puzzles to assist students learn English in a more fun and interesting fashion. This website consists of several important areas but the main three include learning English only, learning two languages, and a place for teachers. In the English section there are various crossword puzzles, vocabulary quizzes, and grammar activites to make learning the language more enjoyable for the students. All these activites have different diificulty levels so as the students learn the language, they can advance at a faster rate. The next area, learning two languages, includes not only the most common languages, but many numerous languages that make this website a great resource because it can benefit multiple nationalities. The final section is a place for teachers to refer to help assist them think of ideas to use in their classroom. I feel that this is a great site because it includes several activites that help make learning fun and enjoyable for the students.

I absolutely loved the idea of this site. It offers English only as well as bilingual quizzes, puzzles, and other fun activities that promote learning in the classroom. With over 35 different languages to choose from, you are sure to find one that will help one of the ELL students in your classroom.
The multiple levels of instruction allow for progression and advancement within the English language. I think that this is a wonderful aspect because it allows for gradual learning rather than having everything introduced all at once, which could be overwhelming to someone who is just starting out. Repetition is present in all activities so that children maintain their skills and continuously add to them. Yet another great feature.
I would recommend this site to anyone who has an ESL or ELL student in their classroom. It acts as a wonderful aid and offers help that all teachers can use. Thanks for finding it. I am sure to add it to my list of favorites.
