ESOL/ELL: a resource for you

Monday, March 24th by carla

Do you teach English to kids whose first language is not English? A valuable resource is headed your way from the folks at Merriam-Webster: the Learners Dictionary.

The site offers several features your kids will find helpful:

  1. Help with commonly misused words
  2. Pronunciation help
  3. Learner’s Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster will announce more developments on its site at the 2008 Convention of TESOL (Teachers of Speakers of Other Languages) in April at the New York Hilton. Bookmark this site and check back often!
