Overview Of Each English
Section
All nine of these "English" sections are
designed for English Language Learners.Links found under the
other subject areas
listed on the Home Page are more appropriate for native English speakers.
This "Teacher's Page" only discusses the part of this website focused on
assisting English Language Learners. There are several other smaller parts that
have excellent resources more appropriate to native English speakers or very
advanced English Language Learners. Those parts are accessible through the
"
Home " page of
this site.
MORE DETAILS ABOUT EACH ENGLISH SECTION:
The Beginner section is divided into various categories. This section, like all the English sections, is designed for people who are learning English as a Second Language. This section, again, like almost all the other English sections, has a "Table of Contents" at the top listing various categories. Almost all of the links in this section have both audio and text, and are designed for very beginning learners. This section is also suitable for young English-speaking children who are just learning to read. A few of the links listed under the "Health" category, though, might not be suitable for very young children. All the links in this section, as they are in the other ones, are designed for easy self-access by beginning English learners.
The English Themes for Beginners/Early Intermediate section is mainly divided into the specific themes that I generally teach in my Beginners English class. Ninety percent of the links in this section have both audio and text. Many of the links in the Beginner section can also be found here, but they are categorized differently. I also have a "Favorites" category here that lists the top twenty or thirty links that I believe are the most effective online tools to help people learn English. This entire section also would be suitable for young children. There is also a small "Math" section on this page which includes several excellent sites that have audio and animated math glossaries. A small number of categories, including ones on "Citizenship," "California" and "Immigration" also have links that are more geared towards intermediate English learners. I use these for a Government class and have not gotten around to creating a separate Government page yet.
The Bilingual Exercises section consists
primarily of links that are specifically designed to teach English
to native speakers of other specific languages. For example, there
are several sites that have been developed to teach English to
Spanish-speakers. Many, though not all, of these sites provide both audio
and text.
The Intermediate & Advanced section is
appropriate for, as the title says, intermediate and advanced learners
of English, as well as native speakers (it has a category for SAT
preparation). It has many English-learning games. Very few of the
links in this section have audio. This section will be re-organized in 2007
to more specifically support an Intermediate
English class I anticipate teaching next school year.
The English Themes for
Intermediate/Advanced section is divided into categories that we
primarily use in our Intermediate English classes. The two major areas are
links to support the units we use in teaching units provided by The Write
Institute (an exceptional program for teaching writing to English learners)
and to support the units in the Visions textbooks (this site, however, has no official
connection to either The Write Institute or to
Visions) . Very
few of these links have audio.
The Examples of Student
Work section
takes advantage of the latest advertising craze called "viral marketing" and
"user generated content" to provide our students with easy ways to create
materials online that can be shared with their families and friends -- and help
them develop their English skills. Teachers can easily have their students use
these links and have them email their finished products to them. Teachers,
in turn, can then post links to those products on their own website. You might
want to read an article
I've written about these applications.
The Science section is the only one
that does not have a "Table of Contents" at the top of the page. This
section has a list of links, almost all which have both audio and text, that are
science-related. Most of these links are also located in other sections under
different categories.
.
The Geography & United States History section is organized to support each chapter of the World
Views geography textbook and the America's Story United States History textbook I use in my classes (this site,
however, has no official connection to
either textbook). Both of these textbooks are written for English Language Learners. Most
of the links in this section provide both audio and text. In
this section the links in italics provide audio and text. The links in regular print
either do not have audio, or they have audio but no captions.
TheWorld History section is designed to support a new class I'm teaching English Language Learners this year. It is organized to support each chapter of the Short Lessons in World History textbook that I will be using (this site, however, has no official connection to the textbook). Many of the links here provide both audio and text. In this section the links in italics provide audio and text. The links in regular print either do not have audio, or they have audio but no captions. Some of the links on this page lead to sections on the "Geography & United States History" page because there is obviously some overlap between U.S. History and Word History. Most of the links on this World History page, however, are indeed new links..
The Best
Websites provide student self-access links to the resources I highlight
in many of my Websites Of
The Year
.
Please contact me at MrFerlazzo@aol.com
if you find links that are not working or
links
that you think are inappropriate. Also contact me if you have
suggestions on how I can make
this site better!
