I likes both of these websites because they provide many resources that help ESL teachers. You can find lesson plans, games, activities, and many other ideas to enhance your teaching. They both also have opportunities for teachers to share their ideas with each other and ask questions with professionals within the field around the world. ESL Partyland has many ways to incorporate several different mediums into your teaching such as film, music, etc. I think these types of things help prevent class from being boring. Especially if you are teaching things such as grammar which students don't necessarily enjoy as much as activities such as learning how to shop at a grocery store. So I hope these two websites will be helpful to some of you.

http://www.cengage.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?fid=M20b&product_isbn_issn=9781413005103 I find it very helpful with clear explanations of how native speakers pronounce, not in the academic way like in the phonology class, but some rules, tips and exercises to help learners improve their pronunciation in conversation.

This is great for reading and listening for more intermediate and upper level students. They can listen and follow along with the text or they can listen and practice taking notes. One of my students said his teacher suggested them listening to some of these for practice!

You can choose listening or speaking and the level of English. This is great for listening to phrases and conversation about different topics, and then practicing these.

As I mentioned in class, there are several useful pages with outlines for activity ideas, as well as some potentially useful scholarly articles for research purposes. Hope it proves helpful!

Both these websites are goood for planning and designing ESL classroom activities. There are also different levels to choose from. I liked it more because I am always looking for new activities for my CEC students, and the ones in here are less explored. I hope you all find it helpful.

The first website is an excellent source of authentic videos for any level. You can have students pick a video to watch and give a quick summary to practice their listening and speaking skills. The second website is from Pearson. They have limited free resources to use in the classroom. Scroll down to the bottom to find more materials made for an adult audience.

So much to do, so little time. Let Rachel fast track your lesson planning with over 500 videos on pronunciation, conversation, topical podcasts and more. Her site is geared toward her online academy registrants, but many of her free videos are also available on YouTube.

This website is specifically for ESL learners and teachers. For teachers, they can use free lesson plan, handouts and worksheets. There are some blogs that teachers can use, and ask help from the experts. For ESL learners, they can learn idoms, and take short quizzes. The best part in this website is, there are more articles related to How to learn English, and a lot of tips on learning and teaching English for both students and teachers.

This is the website i was talking about last week with yall. I love the fact that the website gives you all the activities and lesson plans in one. The main factor that I love is the option to choose to subject you would like to teach and it breaks it down for you even further if you choose to do that.

All in all i believe that this website gives a lot of information on designing activities that could spark other ideas of your own. its also great for last minute fillers if you have extra time in class.
