Technological Tools for Assisting Students Who Are ELL


 


 ELL Spoken Here

    This website provides a network for teachers of English Language Learners. The concept of this site (The Journal –Transforming Education Through Technology) is to give a support system to teachers in school districts that do not help these educators as they should. The site also points out the No Child Left Behind puts teachers of ELL in a difficult position from the beginning of the year.


    I am partial to this website because it supplies links to other ELL sources and has quotes/opinions of actual teachers. Some of the extra references include Childtopia, Dave’s ESL Café, ESL Flashcards, blogs, online educator courses, and specific TeacherTube videos. Each of these links provides tools such as teaching tactics, flashcards, and blogs for the educators to share ideas.

  1. The site I looked at also had links for flashcards, worksheets, vocabulary, and so much more. I believe all these resources are useful for learning not only to ELLs or ESL students but all students.

  2. It's great that there is a website for ELl teachers to share ideas and resources. The number of English learners are increasing so teachers need to be prepared.
