LINK SITES

Many internet sites dedicate a lot of space to links to other sites. These links are often organised and classified in directory style. As we discussed in the session on searching, using this type of site with pre-evaluated links can be useful for busy teachers who do not want to spend time getting Google to work for them.













A few examples are given below.


ABOUT DOT COM
THE HOLIDAY ZONE
INTERNET TESL JOURNAL
ESL HQ
TESOL MAX
ESL CAFE LINKS
RONG CHANG
ESL DESK
USING ENGLISH

Again, tracking down these link compendium sites is a matter of refining and focusing your search skills. For the results above, I used the following search:

"ESL Links" children

You could try a lot of variations:

"EFL links" children
"EFL links" "young learners"
"ESOL links" kids

When you find a good links site, remember to bookmark it, and then bookmark the individual sites you find when navigating from the links site. Very quickly, you will find that you have a good number of high quality, reliable sites available to help you with preparing and supplementing classroom activity.
