Useful Resources for Language Teaching
Goal:
The goal of this activity is to have the graduate students in Applied Linguistics compile a list of online resources that can be used by language instructors for language teaching and learning purposes.
Task:
Please post a link to a website that contains useful materials for language teachers. Such a website can have an online dictionary, teaching materials, assignments or activities for language learners, grammar and vocabulary tests, etc. In addition to the link, post a short description of the website and how it can be used by language teachers and/or language learners.
Example:
http://www.lextutor.ca - website for learning about English and French words; includes concordancer, vocabulary profiler, lexical frequency lists, vocabulary tests, etc. This website can be used to assess the lexical complexity of texts written by language learners (such as the percentage of academic and technical words) and to test the learners' knowledge of English and French vocabulary.

It's a site where you can find professional resources, both theoretical and practical, which includes links to organizations and journals of interest to language teachers and language policy developers, as well as to a selection of online teaching and reference materials. Among all the resources, I do like "Real English". One click takes you to a place where there are sufficient read to use lessons for teachers, including videos. Teachers can use them for class instruction while students can use them for self studying. Just give it a click, you might find the treasure you've been looking for!
