English for Business, Work and Other Special Purposes

Using the Internet to teach English for Special Purposes (ESP)

One of the best methods of teaching is to combine a skill within a usable context. For example, writing skills can be taught by teaching them in a business context. Other skills, such as vocabulary, can be taught by giving appropriate language used to actively participate in business meetings or develop core vocabulary such as 150 key words and phrases used for writing business and commercial letters.

This is another site that really has too many aspects to adequately describe. It is developed for Adult ESOL students, and is well designed to determine the skill levels from Literacy to Advanced , along with specific topic areas such as Workforce Development, Consumer Ed, Grammar, Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing etc. I like that it is developed by classroom instructors, and that topics such as Life Skills are incorporated into the context.
