This
is one of the oldest and most successful ESL sites on the
Web. It keeps expanding with wonderful activities, exercises,
quizzes, and other interesting stuff. Following are some
basic links from Dave Sperling's site. I attended one of
Dave's all-day workshops prior to a TESOL conference in
Orlando a few years back and found him to be a very caring,
student-oriented person. Great site!

This
is a very attractive site that has short fables with questions
following. Students fill in the blanks and get scored immediately.
Fables are wonderful teaching tools. They are short, ease,
and invite wide critical discussion. Visit this one. Intermediate
students can handle the language. Lower level students
will need help from their peers. Use this one!
