From : Kathy Santersero Ricardo: I love ESL resources! They have so much information and provide a greater amount of background and support information for students than other English sites in general. The //ESL// //Gold// site had a bunch of really neat resources, especially the place where students could choose practice exercises for themselves. The Comprehension Activities page had a link to a [|Cyber Listening Lab] that seemed really useful, for ESL and even for regular Language Arts students.

Hi Ricardo, It is so encouraging to see so any sites for ESL students and all who help with their academic success. In looking through your websites, I discovered what I thought was not only vital information for ESL students to understand but also for non-ESL students understand. The Educational Cyber Playground allows students to access information on all aspects of language, origin history, word history, Creole language history, and much more. I think this specific subject should be taught at every grade level. Wonderful Site Yolonda
