Engage your ELL/ESL group by finding sites in their language quickly! Use any keyword in any grade level, then personalize those search results to your non-English speaking population by applying the Language Refinement Menu. Many times there are multiple language choices you can make, depending on the keyword and availability of those topics in different languages.

For example, keyword search “writers” and refine by Spanish to locate this user-friendly Site of the Day written in Spanish and geared toward younger internet users. The site features information about many famous authors from throughout the world. For each writer, students will find a picture and short biography.
