<p>Please share your ideas for using online sites, collaborative/project sites like ePals, and other technologies for helping ELL students, both in and out of the classroom.</p>

<p>As one example, teachers go to <a href="http://www.epals.com">www.epals.com</a> to find a classroom of English speakers. Two classes can team up as a class, or better yet, individual students can each have a pen pal to write to.</p>

<p>When you are doing the unit on "my home" and students learn the words for various rooms of the house and desk, chair, table, sofa, etc., almost everyone has them write a paragraph about their house. Instead of writing that paragraph to turn in to the teacher, the student can write the paragraph and then send it to the pen pal. The pen pal can write back can comment, ask questions, or write about his own home. This is authentic language practice.</p>

<p>If you have more technology available, your students could record their voices to send to another class, or make a video, etc.</p>

<p>Another recommendation is to have students look at particular movies at home, and to turn on "closed captioning" so that the English words also appear on the screen.</p> Best websites for listening in EFLtag:www.classroom20.com,2009-11-29:649749:Topic:4121412009-11-29T13:33:04.550ZMeerihttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Meeri
