ESL teaching colleagues,

 From Jeff Carter's LiteracyTech Blog 
(http://www.literacytech.org/blog.html) I found the Web-based Cook's 
Thesaurus.  Jeff writes :

"Adult learners may find this site worth exploring, at 
http://foodsubs.com. Essentially a picture dictionary of food, the long 
passages may be difficult reading for lower-level readers, but for 
quickly matching the names of food ingredients to pictures, it might be 
fun and useful for anyone. The interface is clean and the pages load 
quickly."

This could be a useful resource for ESOL beginning level students if 
(as Jeff suggests) the students just look at the (large text) food 
names and pictures

Your thoughts?
