Daves ESL Cafe is a great site. I know I will link it to my webpage for students in the near future and feel that it is helpful to both my ELL and regular ed students. The Spanish to English quizzes were helpful to me also because I could personally learn spanish words and review those I knew before. I would also use this to teach my Regular ed students some words in Spanish!!! Great link.

The ESL Cafe was an excellent resource. I’ve been looking for extra resources to recommend to my clients. Thanks
