Activities for ESL Students

Details

Activity Description

This Web site is not so much an activity as it is a site that has a number of different quizzes that could be used as part of an activity your class is working on. It is divided into three levels: Easy, Medium, and Difficult. The quizzes are mostly related to vocabulary or grammar. There are also crossword puzzles and bilingual quizzes in many languages. All of the quizzes are made by contributing teachers. The quizzes load fast and there is no advertising.

There are also links to some podcasts and YouTube videos for ESL. You may want to make this a favorite site when you want a pre-made quiz on just about any topic your class is studying.

Activities for ESL Students is a project of The Internet TESL Journal .
