Let’s be honest: None of us really loves teaching grammar.

Videos too! This site offers easily accessible lists for when a student struggles with a particular skill. Handouts for virtually every writing issue your students could come across. With printable and online practice and teacher resources, the OWL does an admirable job of fulfilling its goal of assisting students “in their development as writers-no matter what their skill level.” 5. Whether your students need clarification on grammar, style or proper citations, this site can help. Beyond that, it offers all sorts of revision tools to help improve student writing. When students submit papers via Turnitin, those papers are tested against the internet as well as peer submissions past and present. So much more than just a place to catch cheaters, although it is very good at that. Great place to send kids in need of a good book. Write reviews, share favorite quotes or my favorite: have the site generate recommendations for you based on things you have liked in the past. Organize shelves of books you have read, and rate them for your friends to check out. With the slogan “Meet your next favorite book,” Goodreads is a bit of technological wonder for readers. It is filled with well-crafted commentary about teaching social justice, resources for teachers, and inspiration to fight the good fight. Teaching Tolerance is “a place where educators who care about diversity, equity and justice can find news, suggestions, conversation and support.” This is my go-to spot any time I want to make my teaching more socially aware. We’ll update this as more ideas for best websites for English teachers roll in! 1. I’d love to hear your picks in the comments section. These are my best websites for English teachers.

After all, if it helps my students and gets them excited about English, then I’m happy to try it. As a high school English teacher, I’m always using outside websites and resources.
