As a teacher of EFL/ESL, we should know about these five great websites for ESL/EFL teachers.
According to the non-partisan National Center for Educational Statistics, the ESL population in
American public schools continues to grow. Teaching non-native pupils formal English remains
as challenging as it is rewarding. Let these content-rich sites enable you to teach more effectively
and efficiently.
Internet TESL Journal
The Internet TESL Journal is filled with useful resources. You will find an abundance of themed
lesson plans, resources for teaching conversational English, and even tips for planning a memorable
first class meeting. Of special note are the collections of links pertaining to culture. They feature
in-class activities designed to help pupils of different cultures to interact with each other. The site
does not appear to have been updated recently, but the sheer amount of information presented
means that both novice and seasoned ESL teachers should find something of interest.
Everything ESL
Everything ESL is another great website for ESL teachers. It features lesson plans, teaching
tips, and other resources. The homepage includes an active forum in which site proprietor Judie
Haynes and others answer questions posed by ESL pupils and instructors. The questions are varied
and address everything from dealing with misbehaving pupils to implementing Core curriculum
standards. Quite an overview! There is a genuine sense of community present and Haynes offers
tips on ESL teaching strategies that will appeal to new instructors.
Breaking News English
Breaking News English utilizes current news articles. ESL instructors will appreciate that these
stories are ranked across six levels according to reading level. However, the site includes much
more than news. Each article includes two lesson plans, one brief and another longer and more
detailed. Should youneed more flexibility, links to specific activities based on the articles are also
included. This great ESL website is useful not only for teaching Basic English; it will help your
pupils learn more about current events.
ESL Mania
Featuring a banner reading “Bright Ideas for Teaching ESL,” ESL Mania focuses on areas other
sites do not address, such as teaching Business English to non-native pupils. Another useful set of
links offer information and exercises to help pupils lose their native accents when speaking. As
expected, the usual exercises and worksheets are present as well. This site appears to be particularly
useful for instructors teaching ESL learners in an adult literacy and language program. The site is
cleanly laid out and information is easy to find.
Dave’s ESL Cafe
Finally, no list of websites for ESL teachers is complete without a mention of Dave’s ESL Cafe.
The site was one of the earliest ESL websites to appear and it rounds up our list of great websites
for ESL teachers. Its popularity has steadily grown across the years; this is reflected in the active
message boards where teachers and pupils alike talk freely among themselves on a host of ESL-
related topics. The Café is intended for a large audience, including teachers who are interested in
