Language Study on the Web

In preparing a Powerpoint presentation (homework) on how the Internet can be integrated into my content area (foreign language instruction including English as a foreign language). In the process of researching on the Web, I found many exciting sites. The material for language instruction is awesome!

Here’s some of the sites. I’ll get to more later.

Google provides a page for searching for text in different languages. Your search term can be in English. Some computer systems may not be able to display the fonts required.

China Daily English Study

http://language.chinadaily.com.cn/

This site has lots of language resources. Techniques, articles

games, quizzes and more.

CNN site with stories including audio, a transcript, and several quiz types. Also an area to answer questions and share with other students. There is a variety of subject matter and this would seem great for content-based study.
