   Thor's Big ESL Links Page

There are zillions of sites for ESL/EFL (English as a second or foreign language). Some saints spend aeons compiling these things, then grow old keeping up the links. The big ESL sites generally have divisions related to job listings, professional teaching help & lesson stuff, a section of materials & drills for students learning English, and general living information on the exotic locations where ESL teachers are apt to find themselves. Some also contain listings of unreliable employers (but none of unreliable teachers... ^_^). The links below are a personal collection, acquired fairly randomly over a number of yearsand only partially systematic. Some may not work, but overall the list should be useful.

20. Miscellaneous Resources

Dave's ESL Cafe
- probably the first stop for every ESL professional & wannabe..

Yahoo ESL
- a major jumping off point for things to  do with second language learning

English Raven
- a very comprehensive site for materials, activities and teacher training. Has a huge
lis of links too.

Andrew Finch Publications
- for anyone working in South Korea, Andrew Finch's free online books for ESL students
are very useful. They are bilingual. You can buy them too in hardcopy from the author.

UsingEnglish.com
- a large site with multiple sections, resources and links for all things relating to the English language
1-Language.com
- an excellent site for resources, activities and language forums for ESL learners 

Real English
- aims to be the next thing in online ESL : video segments of realistic situations to teach the elements of English. At the moment it requires actual downloads rather than streaming the data, so a fast connection and plenty of hard disk space is advised. 

TotalESL.com   - post and search schools, jobs, resumes, yellow pages (English friendly businesses), general information topics, classifieds and lesson plans for free

English as 2nd Language
