Online Resources

American English Online serves as the United States Government's portal for teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language, and contains links to support both teachers and students.

There are thousands of web links to resources for English language teachers and students. It is virtually impossible to list them all. Below you will find links to some commonly used resources. They are arranged by content area and alphabetically within each content area.
