Did someone say GED prep support?


 Yes, We did! - FREE GED Prep. Support. 


This site from Eastside Literacy offers great links to sites such as CNN, PBS and other publishing companies who offer free resources for those who are working toward their GED!

On the left hand side of the page, there are various topics to search such as, GED lessons, Resources and FAQs. Also available are ESL lessons, tutoring tips and even citizenship resources.

On the top of the page, you can even access stories and reflections from tutors just like you!

Using Videos for a Purpose!





This site was one that was featured at our ESL in-service, but if you have access to a computer and speakers I think your students would love speaking about and learning more about the current events and interests that are featured on this website.



What I like best is that the videos and vocabulary lessons are labeled by easy, moderate or difficult levels. Many videos are subtitled and even if the videos tend to be difficult to understand, it is a good conversation starter

Looking for the best translation site you'll ever encounter?

Wordreference is great for vocabulary enrichment, not only because of it's translation capabilities, but because of it's link to google images and, grammar forums.
