[ITESL-J Links Tool]  [Rated Links]  [Currency Converter]

.

Updates ongoing. Last update October 13, 2005. NOTE 10-13-2005: Boy these links are really beginning to need a new organizational scheme. Some are Applied Linguistics; some are Teaching Tips, etc. They need to be organized by field... BTW, lately I've been noticing that http://www.education.leeds.ac.uk/ is a good place to look for goodies... Some sites below are rated according to their usefulness as a resource. The links are sorted by ranking, not by topic or field, but they should all be related to TESL, SLA, general research or net activity. Most are more useful for teachers, but some are for students. This is an ongoing project. Ratings are as follows:  Indispensable     Outstanding         Useful un       Unrated

. Earl Stevick's downloadable book, 'Success with Foreign Languages: Seven who achieved it and what worked for them,' casts serious doubt on absolutist positions. If you take the experience of Stevick's seven learners seriously, you will conclude that 'one-size-fits-all' language teaching is not supported by evidence. After reading Earl Stevick, I recommend reading Tim Murphey's 1995 article Identity and Beliefs in Language Learning ITESL-J Discussion Questions for convo class. The Nature of Grammar: A Neurobiological Perspective by Lee and Schumann Anniversary Applied Linguistics article (2000) by Patsy M.- Lightbown, Concordia University, Montreal - Classroom SLA Research and Second Language Teaching 75 ESL Teaching Ideas by Hall Houston. Paper: Is CLT a thing of the Past? Herriot Wat University's Second Language Research Unit Teaching in China: Discourse and Culture of Learning -- Communication Challenges Teaching Asian Students: Culture and Classroom Communication: A Case Study of Asian Students in New Zealand Language Schools The Internet TESL Journal Sites for Teachers Interesting Things for ESL Students Activities for ESL Students Western/Pacific Literacy Network/CNNSF O-Hayo Sensei:Teaching Jobs in Japan Shareware:Paint Shop Pro
