Search for OER: ESL Grammar Exercises

[Tashjian, Susan]

Hi Folks,

I got the following proposal from the Tutoring Center who would like to create a Grammar Lab of sorts using OER.

The Tutoring Center is interested in creating an OER grammar lab.  This Grammar Lab would contain interactive exercises broken into categories according to specific grammar points and verb tenses.  This OER Grammar Lab would benefit all students at the college who struggle with writing and grammar.  This would include all English Language Learners at the college --both who are in the ESL program and those taking classes at the college level in general.  It is geared towards scaffolding students with English grammar practice.  Ideally, each grammar point or verb tense would start with an overview (written/video) and then would contain auto corrected exercises to instill that particular grammar point that was reviewed.   Students may be referred or required to attend the Grammar Lab from any teacher, coach, tutor, or the student can self-select themselves.  

The Grammar Lab would be a compilation of free resources from the various OER sites, enabling students not to incur any additional cost to overcome any grammar obstacles they may encounter while pursuing their academic goals.  

Questions for the group: Does anyone know if something like this already exists out there? or Does anyone know of or have resources that could be useful to create this grammar lab?

Thanks - I'll compile the responses and share back!

Heyyas Susan!

 

Our Learning Center has some of these courses, and uses the Purdue OWL site for a number of their tutorials and mini-courses. (Our ESL and English faculty also love using this site.) I’ve heard tell that there might be Canvas modules and content on the Canvas Commons from them—I haven’t investigated, but it might be worth looking at, if you campus uses Canvas as the LMS.

 

Best,

--s

Hi Sue, 

Here's where you can browse through ESOL resources created/used in Oregon: http://openoregon.org/resources/?discipline=ESOL

Our instructors are doing awesome work in this area! I hope you're able to reuse some of their materials. 

FYI, 

Amy

One of the resources we have in MERLOT is terrific. The author is deceased, but the site is maintained.
