My three favorite ESL Blogs

Here are three of my favorite ESL blogs and brief introductions of them.

ESL-Learning English Culturally
In this blog it got many labels such as “useful expressions”, “Useful English Openers” or “Daily English” for learners to click in to read the article. You can learn some basic usage of English in different context. And you can get a general understanding about holidays around the world by reading the “Holidays” section. Also funny comic and pictures about blogging is provided for visitors to laugh while learning.

Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day for Teaching ELL, EFL&ESL
Actually this is more suitable for teachers. The blog is so great because it provide so many materials. The categories contain almost every subject: Math, Geography, Science, etc. And also it has categories on basic English learning skills like listening, writing, grammar, etc. In the articles the blogger provides many more website that is useful for different subjects of teaching. Games and videos that can be encouraging to learners are provided, too. I guess I won’t introduce too much to you because I would like you to explore for yourself! I believe you will find it really useful!!

Inspiration Lane
Wow! This is the MOST special blog I have ever seen!! "Inspiration Lane" is an online, classroom magazine for all levels of ESOL, ESL and EFL classes. And it is really unique because it will change automatically every day. Created and edited by an ESOL certified teacher in Florida, USA. For teachers, this blog can be projected onto whiteboard every day after the lesson to share with the whole class. Students can visit it everyday to learn new stuff!! I just love the way it is!! It has new things to learn every day, such as “Quote of the day” or “The day in history” I think it is a really great ESL blog for both teachers and students.
