Okay, break out your French language skills (Sherry, help!). This site is from France but the activities for practicing English are phenomenal. Organized by theme, they are interactive and will certainly keep your learners engaged. Check out the well-organized categories marked “Vocabulaire et activites”. http://www.ac-nancy-metz.fr/enseign/anglais/Henry/eleves.htm
Adult ESL webquests are hard to find. Here are some well-designed ones on consumerism, buying a car, parenting, and eating at a restaurant. A great follow-up to our previous webquest training.

From an eighth grade textbook publisher’s website,
this is a ready to use list of assessment forms for language skills. A great
start to using rubrics. http://www.pearsoned.ca/sightlines/gr_8/common/assessment_masters/
I couldn’t wait to share this site with you. While geared for teen ESL learners, Chat ESL Radio includes MP3 clips in both normal
speech and slowed speech with corresponding lessons that could be used with adult learners.
A few free examples are included at http://chateslradio.com/extraitENG.htm. Let us know if we should
purchase the magazine and cdroms.
Computer teachers have
been using http://www.manythings.org/casp/ for some time. Try out the
computer assisted sentence production on topics including a self introduction, writing a letter, favorites, and daily schedule.
