Developing skills with web-based tools for ESL teachers

This document discusses using free web-based tools to develop skills in the ESL classroom. It provides examples of tools that can be used to develop reading and writing skills like comparing genres and describing characters. Tools are also presented for developing listening and speaking skills, like recording yourself and identifying main ideas. Additional tools allow students to have fun with words by creating word clouds and playing spelling games. However, the document emphasizes that developing skills is not just about the tools, but also developing abilities like associating information, establishing hierarchies, and collaborating.
