Online esl teaching and learning resources

Bettie Ido

Wow!  I am suffering from extreme information overload!! I am transitioning from text book-based lessons in a group setting to one-on-one online lessons, so I am searching for teaching material online.  There certainly is a lot out there!  

I came across one Youtube clip of Will Smith being interviewed on a Spanish TV program, and it seems to me he exhibits some qualities that are helpful in successful language learning:  the willingness to make mistakes and look a bit foolish.  Of course, we cannot all be Will Smith.  I think he could make me laugh if all he did was recite the ABC's.  Have a look and enjoy!
