Check out these sites for further learning:


 ESL Technology Reviews
ESL Podcast- http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html -English as a Second Language Podcast- The speakers here speak clearly and a bit slower than usual so as to aid the ESL student in understanding. Common daily encounters are discussed to help with everyday life for the English language learner.

Learn Out Loud- Podcasts on a variety of topics: http://www.learnoutloud.com/Podcast-Directory/Languages - Learn Out Loud- This site has a multitude of podcasts dealing with Arts and Entertainment, Self Development, Travel, Politics, etc. Teachers could use this resource to consult when dealing with a Japanese student, for example.

http://esl-materials.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_teach_reading_strategies - Suite 101- Teaching methods for motivating students through reading. This article is found on a website called Suite 101 which has related topics for deeper study. Time spent here seems to be of beneficial for any teacher, but especially the ESL teacher. There are class conversation starters, iPhone Apps for ESL students, and free ESL podcasts.
http://esltech.wordpress.com/ - ESL Technology crossroads will be found here. An “Unconference” to be held in Ohio is mentioned here which should prove beneficial for ESL teachers who want to incorporate technology in the teaching. This weblog deals with a variety of topics, but the resources page proved more useful, including the “Top 5 Technologies You Should Already Be Using.”
