Hi there

This is a good website, specially for beginners, as it offers lessons plans and guides teachers in how to use computer language in the classroom environment. There is a table of contents and the language level of each activity.

Hello everybody,

My suggestions are:
www.englishclub.com, a site for both learners and teachers that I use all the time, and

http://www.nelliemuller.com/ESL_Articles_and_WebQuests.htm
This site is new for me and I'm still looking into it. You will find many articles about Technology in the Classroom, ESL articles, activities and ....

Have fun!

In this website http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids you can explore a lot of different activities for children who are learning English as a second language. You can find games, songs, activities to print and stories to help them to learn the language.

An interesting site for business and ESL teachers is www.onestopenglish.com. It is a webpage to give teachers support, to share teaching ideas and ask for them.

There you can find material to utilize with children, teenagers and adults, lesson plans about grammar and vocabulary, and others involving the necessary skills in the process of learning a second language. It is also possible to download some games and activities from this page.

Teachers can also get material to help them to prepare classes for students who are interested in getting ready to exams like IELTS, TOEFLS, ESOL, etc. At One Stop English there are contents free and just for members, and they are updated weekly and/or monthly. (Veluma)

If you're interested in education and social movements, there is something happening in Portugal (regarding the implementation of a national teachers' performance evaluation process - this discussion has already started in Brazil):
