| Title | Online Spelling Practice for Adults |
| Body | A recent post to the TESL listserv requesting ideas for facilitating spelling practice with an adult English language learner received the following replies: ---- To me, nothing works better than C-tests. Have him work through the tests, from the grade 2 test on, until his spelling improves. Go to http://clozeonline.us .You won't even have to monitor what he does; you'll be surprised how fast it works. Blum, J.A. Re: Spelling practice for adults. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (7 Sept. 2005). ---- If your students have access to computers, you might direct them to one or more of the Web sites below. All of them offer either interactive spelling tests, multiple choice review of correctly spelled or misspelled words, or both. http://eslus.com/LESSONS/SPELL/SPELL.HTM http://www.usingenglish.com/quizzes/170.html http://www.spelling-tests.com van Troyer, G. Re: Spelling practice for adults. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (8 Sept. 2005). ---- Here is a site that I and my students have found very beneficial. It breaks down major spelling rules and offers a good number of quizzes for them to practice these newly acquired rules. http://english.glendale.cc.ca.us/phonics.html Douglass, M.
