Web site: www.englishlearner.com
Level and Skill: This website would be appropriate and applicable for learners who range from the beginner level to the advanced. The skills that would be used in this website include those of reading and writing.
Interactive: There is an interactive feature to this website and for students who like an interactive component in their websites this would be an ideal website for them to learn from.
ESL/non-ESL: This website is primarily for use by ESL learners.
What makes it good: I found this website extremely easy to use and the usefulness for learners is that there are various grammar and vocabulary exercises for the learner to complete at all skill levels. The website provides puzzles, jumbled words, cloze and multiple choice tests for the learner to attempt and complete if they so desire. There are time limited quizzes for the more advanced students who think that they can complete them. The links to other student resources would be useful to the learner in the learning process. I feel that this website would be extremely useful to any learner looking to improve their reading and writing skills.

Web Review Blog #4
Website: http://www.rosettastone.com
Level and Skill: From the demo that I experienced I would believe that this would be best suited for beginner reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Interactive: That is a big component of the website.
ESL/ Non-ESL: This software is designed with ESL learners in mind.
What makes it good: The software provides visual demonstrations, in the form of pictures, of either the word or sentence that is spoken. This would assist the learner in learning their second language. I found that as I listened to the audio clips which were spoken with the voice of a native speaker that this would be extremely useful to someone learning a second language.
