More of the worlds best English language learning links chosen by ESL All Adapted with permission from ESL All July 2006 Issue -Vol. 2, no. 6 ESLAll.com
Over 7,800 FREE online resources to better your English. Here ESL ALL has selected for you ten of the Top Picture Vocabulary Resources available online. Some of these recommended sites even have audio files that allow you to hear the correct pronunciation of each word. Picture vocabulary dictionaries, exercises and games are great ways of building new vocabulary. The visual support they provide have the added advantage of increasing the level of retention of new words by both beginners and intermediate learners. What is however important to keep in mind is the importance of repetition. The more often you revise or redo the exercises or play the games, the more you will remember. Never underestimate the importance of repetition. This is what the human brain needs for long-term memorization. These chosen resources are divided into three categories: 1) picture dictionary sites; 2) picture vocabulary exercise sites; and 3) picture vocabulary game sites for those who want to learn while having fun. A few Online Picture (visual) Dictionaries Visual Dictionaries: Although rather limited, there exists a few interesting and useful online viusal dictionaries for beginners and low-intermediate learners.

 More of the worlds best English language learning links chosen by ESL All Adapted with permission from ESL All February 2006 Issue -Vol. 2, no. 2 These are ESL Alls recommended sites that use podcasting to improve English learning. Podcasting is a way of recording and publishing a non-music audio broadcast (news, ESL lesson, discussion, etc.) via the Internet mainly in the MP3 format for playback in a digital music player). These non-music audio broadcasts are called podcasts and users can automatically download them (usually mp3 files) onto their computers and transfer these recordings automatically to portable music players such as iPods or other portable MP3 players. Users can also burn these files on blank CDs and listen to them as they would with any other audio files such as songs. Students of English can then listen to these files anytime and anywhere they choose. What makes podcasting so interesting and so useful is that it combines the advantages of variety, authenticity, and portability. Not surprisingly, podcasting is getting increasingly popular all around the world and the collections of useful educational podcasts are growing at a very fast pace. If you dont have podcast software, you can try iTunes or Juice freeware: iTunes
(Mac & Windows) Juice

Includes: transcripts, slow dialogue, explanations, and fast dialogue. Podcasting for ESL
What is ESL Podcast? What is a podcast? A podcast is an audio file that you download from the Internet. After you download it, you can listen to it on your computer or on an MP3/portable music player (for example, an iPod or iRiver). You can subscribe to a podcast so that it is delivered to you automatically each day, just like a newspaper. What is the Learning Guide? The Learning Guide is an 8 - 10 page guide for every future podcast.
