Technology for ESL

ESL Technology Exercises
By:Linda Mitchell

The English language is an important communication tool in technological and business settings around the world. As informational technology (IT) and scientific advancements continue to progress, these fields are continually adding and creating new terms and phrases. For English as a Second Language (ESL) students, associated vocabulary and technology-related exercises are becoming increasingly important to further their knowledge and communicative abilities in the business world.

Business English Site
This website (businessenglishsite.com) focuses on technology-related exercises at intermediate and advanced levels. However, it does offer beginner exercises and promotes the idea that all ESL students should try to complete any given lesson.

You'll find exercises ranging from web hosting terms to cell phones and social media vocabulary. In addition, it offers other IT-related exercises that relate to search engine optimization as well as IT tech support and computer programmer terminology. This portion of the website gives ESL students advanced level IT knowledge that is currently used in associated fields, but is also helpful for anyone who wants to learn specialized terms and business lingo.

English Exercises
This website (englishexercises.org) offers different exercises and lessons and some that focus on technology-related material primarily for novice ESL students. Exercises that focus on teaching and enhancing computer-based knowledge at a beginner level are available. Reading worksheets and comprehension lessons are also presented in an easy downloadable format for ESL students who want to initiate IT-related language development.

Using English
This website (usingenglish.com) separates its exercises and lessons into beginner, intermediate and advanced reading comprehension sections. Within each section, there are comprehension exercises that relate to different subject matter including IT sectors. ESL students are encouraged to read through text that is provided under each title heading. The text includes technological terms as well as contemporary issues that surround advancements in this field. Comprehension questions are presented after the text to further knowledge acquisition in this area.
