Web Site: The Guide to Grammar and Writing http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/
Level and Skill: As stated on http://www.teslontario.org/news/links/links_learners.html the reading level is 2-8 and writing is 2-6. I would estimate that this would be applicable for levels 3-5 at Niagara College.
Interactive: There is an interactive component to this website.
ESL/Non-ESL: The website is useful for either ESL or even non-ESL learners who wish to improve their grammar and writing skills in English. It is my personal belief that teachers of both ESL and non-ESL learners could put this website to good use.
What Makes It Good: This website with its index of 427 references which is located in The Guide to Grammar and Writing could indeed prove an effective tool for our learners to improve their reading and writing skills. This particular website is extremely well thought out in its design and layout. I found the website to be easy to use and user friendly which would aid in its benefit to the learner. Each of the 427 references are well defined and have examples and hyper-links for each one to assist the learner in their learning process. I would recommend this website to any learner or teacher.

Web Review Blog #1
The name of the website that I reviewed for my first blog is English Grammar and Writing and the link for the website is http://www.edufind.com/english/grammar/index.cfm .
The level and skill of the learner which would use this website would be for those learners that are interested in improving their grammar and writing skills. The levels would be a range between beginner to advanced. This website would be useful for a wide range of learners to use which would make it an excellent learning resource for all teachers to use.
There is an interactive element to this website and this can be viewed by the learners when they click on the link to the English language tests and games which can be seen on the homepage of the website. This would be the interactive component to this website which the students can interact with.
This website was designed particularly for second language users to use to assist in the improvement of their grammar and writing skills. The website that I am reviewing today can both be used by the teacher and the learner in the classroom.
What makes it useful for the ESL learner is that it covers wide range of subjects which are used in grammar and writing. There is a link to a quick guide to English punctuation which would be useful for the learner trying to make improvements in that area. There is also a link to useful writing tips and to English tests which would demonstrate to the learner the areas that they excel in and where they need to make improvements. The website is extremely user friendly and there is even an online personal tutor to assist the ESL learners with any questions that they may have. There are internal links which will direct the learner to grammar tests and games, tips for good writing, an guide to punctuation, table of contents and subject lists which allow the students to direct themselves to the specific areas that they wish to improve on.
