The following web site is designed to teach English as a second/ foreign language to ESL/EFL students through a combination of CALL activities. The site is designed for different levels and contains several sections for vocabulary, speaking, grammar, listening, reading, writing and other linguistic areas like idioms, proverbs, slang expressions and anagrams.
As far as reading is concerned, this website has a very interesting section that combines the listening and reading skills by providing ESL/ EFL students with readings from different genres that they can read and listen to along flash/MP3. There is also a YouTube videos link that supplements the listening & readings section.
Teaching reading through this CALL website depends on your students' level as well as the genre of your text. One of my ways of teaching reading is to provide prereading, reading, and postreading activities like having students make predictions, listen to the MP3 before, while or after reading the text, summarize it, or relate the reading to their personal experiences.

I hope you find it useful for your students!

This looks like an extensive and useful link. Have you ever used this site while teaching and if so was there a particular activity that you thought worked well?
ReplyDeleteNot really, I found this website while searching for an online reading resource, but I definitely will use it in my future CALL classes :)
