Interesting things for ELL students

http://www.ohiou.edu/esl/english/vocabulary.html
I found this website to be a very useful tool for ELL students. It contains various vocabulary activities and games. The one link titled superkids school vocabulary 1 you are provided with a new vocabulary word, definition, and synonyms each day. The link titled interesting things for ESL students contains word searches. The topics of these were directed towards students. For example some topics were sports, body parts, colors, all things that students would find interesting. I really liked the internet picture dictionary. It contained several different languages to help students learn the difference in their native language compared to the English language. There is also a link containing different idioms for each letter of the alphabet. This is useful because students will be able to read a word or statement and see it used in an example, helping them to understand it's meaning and proper use.
