Not an ESL site

There are many websites that you can use to help you to learn English. Some of them are made specifically for English languages learners. Others are useful but they are intended for people who know English already. We can still use them to help us learn English. One example is the website for NY1, the local news channel.

Use Google to find the website. Then listen and read the stories you find most interesting.

We can also use karaoke videos.  For example, if I Google, "Allentown lyrics" and click on 'videos' I can find this song. Try Googling your favorite song with the word, "lyrics".

Good evening class,

Today we will start by practicing a little grammar. Please go to this page and work on it for 20 minutes.

Then we will go to a website where you can watch full programs on many different topics from the tv show, Frontline. We will watch the video and look through the website and think about how we can use it to improve English language skills. Click on the Frontline link, then find 'topics' and click on 'education' and then on

Then we will finish writing our stories.

PowerPoint Presentation and job interviews

Good evening class,

Today we're going to start by viewing a slide show that was produced using a presentation program called PowerPoint. It's about a program that helps students get better jobs. Here is the link.

Then I want you to listen to the audio and answer the questions of this exercise.

Finally you can watch a YouTube video that talks about finding a job using transferrable skills.

If you have time, you can also watch this video about resumes. This is sort of an advertisement, but it has good information, too.
