Dear ESL All subscribers from
all around the world,
Our readers often ask us to recommend
great websites where can be found resources to help children
learn English. This is precisely what this June issue of
the ESL All newsletter aims to do. As
there are numerous first-class children resources available
online, our choice was far from being easy. Yet
we have, in the end, opted for ten Top Online Children
Sites where both young and old kids will find thousands
of resources, games, and activities that can truly contribute
to making progress in English.
What is best? English
as a Second Language sites or English as a First Language
Sites?
Our answer to this question is that both types of
sites are to be considered. The English
used to communicate with children being
usually simple in nature, the difference
between first- and second-language
children sites is not as important
as might first be thought. Also, we
make it a point of honour to always
encourage children to visit as many
good sites as possible. The more they
explore, the more advanced they become,
and the more they can take advantage
of the fantastic online material that
has been created for their delight.
The first three sites featured
in this month's selection are English as a Second or Foreign
Language (ESL / EFL) sites that provide resources for children
who are non-native speakers of English. The seven other
sites contain material (directories, search engines, magazines,
resource banks, etc.) that were created for young native
speakers of English, but that can be of great value to
young non-native learners as well.
Ready to begin a new online adventure?
Wherever you decide to go, just keep in mind what great
fun it is being a kid!
Do not hesitate to send us your comments or questions
if you have any.
Have fun!
The ESL
All Team
