I am a LINC 3 instructor and use ESL Library very often in my teaching.  I love it because it is so user friendly, serves such a great variety of levels and lessons, and is PDF and digital!! Also I appreciate how it has been compatible with Google Classroom for accessing and viewing assignments.  I hope you realize how much you are appreciated!!

There is one thing that I would like to mention and that is I wish there were more lessons on CANADA.  Holland College in PEI has offered LINC classes for many years to our diverse population of immigrants.  And we as instructors are very committed to helping our student population to learn about Canada and its provinces and territories so they can start to feel more integrated as they learn more about their new country.  We love maps that have various levels of identifying provinces and territories and capital cities and waterways etc.  This is a great way to learn about Canada.  Videos about Canada with accompanying questions would be awesome!!  Thank you so much!!

Lorraine, thank you _so_ much for leaving this very sweet feedback! I'm so excited to share it with the team.

If you are feeling bold, we would _love_ if you would click on the video and leave a quick video response as well. You can even just read what you typed in the comment here. I won't tell anyone 😉 (By the way, you can re-record as many times as you need before you submit. It took me like six tries to get a recording I liked  😅.)

Oh, and I'll also be sure to share your lesson requests with the publishing team. We really appreciate specific feedback like this because it helps us see the gaps in the materials we're providing and better understand what teachers are looking for in the classroom.

I am an english-spanish translator and during this difficult situation I decided to teach english. It is really difficult. Every field is different and teaching is a hard work. ESL has been a great tool not only for my students but also for me. I have learned a lot.  It is an easy and clear platform even if you are not a teacher. 

Maria, we are so happy that we can help you with your pivot to a new work life!

If you feel up to it, we would _love_ if you would also leave a video response. I'd love to have a variety of faces and backgrounds sharing their experiences with ESL Library 💗

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ESL Library. I use it with all of my classes. This is the best online resource so I truly recommend it. The grammar is explained perfectly, the readings are so much fun, up-to-date and interesting. Keep up the good work. 

Silvia, we _love, love, love_ your response 💗 Thank you!

We would adore if you felt comfortable hopping in front of the camera and leaving a quick video response! Just click on the video above and within a second you should see the option to use your phone and record a super short video -- feel free to express your adoration freeform or give a dramatic reading of what you already wrote down here in the comments 😉

Thanks again for your sweet words!

Hi ESL Library team,
My name is Sarah and I'm teaching English in France.  I've been a member for a few years and have used quite a few of the lessons.  I like the format - warm-up, text, vocabulary exercises etc.
What would be great looking forward is if you could begin publishing materials for exam preparation.  Many of my lessons involve preparing students for the IELTS and TOEIC exams.
Wishing you all the best for 2021, Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your years of support! We're so glad you're loving what we do 💗

If you feel comfortable, click on the video above and within one second you will see an option to leave a video response. We would _adore_ having some different faces sharing what they love about ESL Library to keep my smiling mug company up there!

PS. In case you're a tiny bit camera shy, you can re-record the video as many times you need to before you share it. It took me like six times to get mine right 😅

PSS. I will pass your lesson suggestions along to our publishing team. I know you are not the only person requesting exam prep materials, and as someone who has taught a TOEFL prep class, I know the struggle of finding good materials! If there are any specific areas of IELTS and TOEIC that you have in mind, be sure to let us know so I can pass those details along too.

Happy 2021 to you too!

Sarah J.

Use this a lot, thanks it’s a great source ( graphics might be ‘clearer’ )

Thank you, Sarah! If you want, you can also leave a **video** response above! 

Just click on the video and then click on the camera icon. You can say what you love "face-to-face" and make our whole team smile :)

PS. I'll pass along your comment about the graphics to our publishing team. If you have a specific lesson in mind with graphics that need reworking, let us know!

Where else can you find a complete, ready-to-go lesson about such an important news event as the siege on the US capitol, just a day or two after it happens? I knew that I needed to address this event with my adult ESL students, but I didn't know where to start. There were so many video and print news sources that would have taken me days to sort through. ESLlibrary did all of that work for me and made it possible for me to address the historical event in a very timely way. What an important and much appreciated service! 

Julieeeeee, you are too kind 😊

I was blown away by our publishing team's turnaround time on that lesson, as well. They are superstars!

If you are feeling super kind, we would _love, love, love_ if you cared to also leave a super quick video response sharing how much you love ESL Library! Just click on the video above and within a second you should see the option to leave a video response. (You can re-record it as many times as you want before you share, so no pressure! And a reading of your original comment to us would be delightful. We are hoping for lots of different faces and experiences to be shared visually to show our diversity of users!)

Happy teaching!

Hi guys, this is Tammy! Watch the video and you will see the option to leave your video or text response from within the video :)

Christine J.

Hi, I like to work with ESL a lot, since it is always very up-to-date and has a lot of interesting topics. What I don't like is that I can't see without clicking on view if I have corrected and commented on the student's work or not.

Christine, we so appreciate your sweet words 💕

If you have a minute, we would _love_ if you would leave a short video response with a favorite classroom moment with ESL Library. You can click on the video above and within a second you should see the option to leave a video response.

We are hoping to see the wide variety of our users represented in the video responses!

PS. I have also passed along your comment about seeing comments and corrections to our LMS developer team! You are not the only teacher who has made this request, so I'm hoping it's high up on their list of feature updates!

Some other fun ones, a bit more of a visual challenge:
Like 2 peas in a pod
That apple didn't fall far from the tree
The spitting image of
The apple of her father's eye
Fight like cats & dogs



Hi Maria!

I'm guessing this comment was in response to another blog post, but hey, it's more than welcome to hang out down here. Love those examples! I'll share them with Tanya, and she'll probably know which blog post they belong with 😊

PS. If you feel like telling us how much you love ESL Library, you can click on the video in the post above and leave us a quick video message. It takes 30 seconds and will bring a smile to our faces!

I use the ESL Library platform to train our employees in the IT industry in Japan. The materials have been handy and time saving for our teacher and trainees. They cover a wide array of topics and are always up-to-date. The variety of content exposes our employees to different perspectives of the global world. I think the ESL Library team is very professional and thoughtful about what language teaching should be.
I can’t assert enough the amount of time we save using the ESL Library and its affordability. I dearly recommend the ESL Library.

PS: I have more than ten classes. It happens I send homework to the wrong group. I would appreciate you give us a choice to edit or delete the assignment. Many thanks for considering my request.

My high intermediate adult learners enjoy and profit from everything we have used in ESL Library.  We especially love the way the vocabulary is introduced and used in multiple ways that enables good retention and immediate use.  The grammar worksheets are another favorite because the rules are set out clearly with practice that leads to improved writing and speaking soon after.
Their favorite lessons are the dialogues that involve real life skills like banking, apartment seeking, medical office visits, etc.  I could go on because it’s all good.  I'm so glad our school joined your program... kudos to those who prepare this material for us.
