This website entitled “ESL: English Study and Learning Materials! We can find some menus that are very useful both for teachers and students. Those are: Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary, Business, Pronunciation, TOEFL/TOEIC, and idioms. From those menus, we can find a lot material about English.

Ok, I will focus on the menu “Speaking” only. If we click “Speaking”, there are two menus of ESLgold resources. The first menu provides: phrases for conversation, textbook recommendation, learning strategies, topics for conversation, quick link, teaching speaking, speaking situation, and quizzes. The second one provides the levels of speaking teaching-learning. There are low beginning, high beginning, low intermediate, high intermediate, and advanced.
