ESL Faculty Interest Group

This Spring, I organized an ESL FIG to discuss using technology in the ESL classroom. We were able to share a number of interesting websites and apps. Here are some of our favorites:

Google Voice--students use their phones to leave messages with the teacher. The messages are transcribed and teachers can also receive the messages via email.

Kaywa--creates a scan code which can be used as an easy way for students to do listening activities with their smart phones.

Socrative--an app that can poll classroom opinions

Weebly--easy way to make websites

English for everyone--website full of ESL grammar worksheets that can be used for classroom use

Bookr--makes a book using only Flikr images

Memrise--a free language website created by contributors from around the world

Swipe--Easy presentation website

geert-hofstede.com-- culture comparison website

freetech4teachers.com--Richard Byrne has a lot of good, tested website for teachers
