Q: What are some effective English language teaching sites (CALL, CMC)?

Looking for general purpose sites, as well as some that specialise in one or more of the following: reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.

Also, what are some of the best features of the sites?

EDIT: CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning) and CMC (Computer-mediated communication). Online learning.

You once told us that your job is training people in pursuit of a TESOL certification. As such a teacher, you should be the one to know, and to create such content for your students who are hoping to learn how to become better teachers.

Far be it from me to turn away a prospective teacher! Personally, as an illegal, unqualified and unskilled English teacher, I use the following pages on the same site:

http://www.tefl.net/esl-lesson-plans/

http://www.tefl.net/teaching/teaching-tips.htm

http://www.tefl.net/esl-lesson-plans/teachingtips.htm

http://www.tefl.net/esl-lesson-plans/esl-activities.htm

Give the website a go. It's probably the best site I've ever seen on the subject to date.

That is a teacher oriented site. CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning) and CMC (Computer-mediated communication) are student oriented sites, or online learning.

A:1. Native speaker. 2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
