ESL Lounge is a great resource for testing ESL students or students that have fallen behind on their English skills. It has testing and reading area for multiple levels from the beginner area to advanced. It teaches sentence structure and the nuances of the English language, which can be hard to teach ESL students without the student working on their skills at home. This resource is free and allows just that.
Write & Improve is a website that allows students to complete their short exercises as pictured below. These exercises aren't difficult for me, but they showed me where I need to improve and the entire activity only took me about two minutes including the time it took for the computer to grade my work.
TEDEd has many short animation that then ask students to logic out the answer. These videos cover a wide array of problems and subjects for the students to learn. The activities are fun and each video has a time stamp on the home page so the teach and student will know how long the video will last, most are are 4:30-5:30 in length.
Education First while being less colourful, has an in-depth guide to grammar, which many students have trouble understanding. This resource would give the students access to a site which could answer their grammar questions and help them practive their information finding skills.
Free Rice tests students on their grammar skills, and with every right answer gives ten grains of rice to the World Food Programme. This resource is a great way to make students test the grammar they learned from the previous resource, while helping those in need. The questions have a level based system that will help the teach keep the difficulty set to where students are in their grammar learning.
EFSET allows students to test where their English skills are now, and they can see how they have improved over time. The test is to see what level the individual is at. The number of correct answers doesn't matter since its only a level identifier. This test is developed by the European Council, and is recognized by employers and universities which only helps older students prove their credentials.
Classtree was a resource shared with me that would allow the teacher to share updates with parents directly. The students wouldn't be able to hide things like I did as a student. I think that communication is key to ensure students have a successful learning environment. Parents would also be able to update me on what is happening at home if they wished to.
