Here are some of Robert Ludwiczak's favorite all-around ESL web sites: Number 1, Number 2, Number 3, Number 4, Number 5. Vocab1 and Vocab2 or Grammar1 and Grammar2 or Listening1 and Listening2 and Listening3 or Writing1and Writing2or GRE Practice are all good according to Robert, too. ... DICTIONARIES AND GRAMMAR: He also says that this is a good place to start--even if you are not trying to learn English.

As I've mentioned before one of my skill areas is teaching English to speakers of Other languages (TESOL) for which I have an M.A. and which I have done professionally most of the last eleven years. Please look at these sites if you are interested in language teaching.

    This is a wonderful site which contains text, information on bands and soloists, as well as background information on albums, groups, etc. I love to use music in teaching and motivating students to read, speak, write, and listen more effectively. Another excellent site for lyrics is by GUNTHER. Check it out, too.
