SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We're currently testing an online language learning product called Mango Languages! Available languages include English as a Second Language for speakers of Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, or Polish, as well as Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Russian, and Spanish (all for speakers of English). You can try it here: Try Mango Languages!
Be sure to let me know what you think of the product, so that when the trial is over at the end of October, we can make a decision about purchasing it more permanently. My email address is in the box to the right. Enjoy!
Here you will find a collection of resources related to (ESL) English as a Second Language, both learning and teaching. If you have suggestions for additional content for this guide, don't hesitate to let me know! The Feedback box at the bottom of the right-hand column is a good way to do this.
You may also want to check the website for Northeastern's English Language Center, which contains other helpful information related to the study of the English language at Northeastern. Another service that may be helpful is Northeastern's Writing Center, where you can get assistance in writing and editing your papers.
If you are a student of English as a second language but are doing research in another subject area, such as business or health care, for example, I recommend you check the NU Libraries' guide for that subject, by clicking the LibGuides Home link at the top left of this page.
Feel free to contact me for research assistance -- my contact info is in the profile box at the right. If I'm not available you may also want to try the Library's Ask a Librarian page.
