The latest ESLlibrary blog post is titled “Applications And Sites That Teachers Depend On”.
Peter Martin says, “In two recent posts on this blog, Shelly Terrell listed a number of online resources that teachers can use to interact with their students online and help them learn.
Continue reading »I have some more recommendations, with a similar, though slightly different, focus. For the last year, I’ve looked extensively for applications and sites that can help students learn, help teachers teach, and help everyone share and organize educational material. While ESL Library offers teachers lots of great content we teachers can use in our lessons, other sites that are not focused on ESL offer services that an ESL teacher—or any teacher—will quickly find invaluable”.
The latest ESLlibrary blog post is titled “Podcast: Hip Hop and Rap”.
Tara Benwell says, “What do Kool Herc, the Beastie Boys, and Eminem have in common? You guessed it! They all contributed significantly to the musical genre fondly known as Hip Hop. Today’s podcast features a NEW reading from our Famous Things section.
Continue reading »In our intermediate lesson on Hip Hop and Rap, students learn the history behind this popular music genre and culture. They review important vocabulary and create their own rap. Like all of our Famous Things lesson plans, this lesson comes with pre-reading questions, a reading, comprehension questions, and vocabulary review”.
The latest ESLlibrary blog post is titled “Pronouncing 2012: How do YOU say it?”.
Tara Benwell says, “In our first ESL-Library meeting of the year, Ben noticed that I was referring to our 2012 Lesson Plan Calendaras the “two thousand and twelve” calendar instead of the “twenty-twelve” one. The pronunciation of our new year isn’t something I thought about until yesterday, though I’ve since learned that many people have questioned it, including the 2012 Olympic committee.
Continue reading »Ben reminded me that we never say things like the War of one thousand, eight-hundred and twelve.We wouldn’t say that my grandma was born in one thousand, nine-hundred and twelve. So, why would we talk about our goals for two thousand and twelve? I assume it’s because we (those of us who use this pronunciation) got used to saying two thousand when we reached a new millenium, and then continued using the same phrasing from that year on”.
The latest ESLlibrary blog post is titled “Flashcard Ideas for Toys and Games”.
Tara Benwell says, “Our tenth Flashcard Friday post is all about Toys! While you might think of toys as a subject only young learners would be interested in, adults enjoy the nostalgia that this topic brings too.

The latest ESLlibrary blog post is titled “When Is it Ok to Traduct—Err, Translate?”.
Tara Benwell says, “One exercise I do with my students is a worksheet called “Spanglish.” Another English teacher passed a version on to me about a year ago, and I’ve added to it as I’ve gained teaching experience. It’s very straightforward, and my students usually love it. It’s just a list of about 70 sentences featuring common mistakes Spanish speakers make in English as a result of translating directly from Spanish.
Continue reading »Some of the errors are issues of vocabulary and incorrect word choice (“I’m sorry, teacher; I can’t assist to the next class”), some are idioms (“Put attention!”), and others are grammatical mistakes (“She said me about her marital problems”)”.
