  WINNETKA - Updated the Lab's homepage, simplifying it from the previous version. Decided to simplify this page to focus on news and Open Educational Resources (OER).

Open Educational Resources

OER for English Language Teachers (10)

These resources are for English Language Teachers (ELTs); including both Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). I, Mr. Danoff, am an ELT and have used almost everything below with students (English Language Learners or ELLs) of my own. I want these resources to be used by other teachers and to get feedback on them.
