As many of you know, California has many immigrants who speak English as a second language. The State of California has developed a special website to help adults learn English online. It is full of short, interesting news stories with additional materials to help you improve your English. These stories are good for both intermediate and advanced students. The site is called the California Distance Learning Project (CDLP).
How to use this site: Warren Ediger, one of the best ESL classroom teachers and online tutors I know, has detailed suggestions on how you can use this site to help improve your English. Warren gives you specific steps on how to make the best use of the articles and stories you will find on the CDLP website.
Warren’s website, SuccessfulEnglish.com, also has other good ideas on learning English through reading, on preparing for the TOEFL, and on some common questions related to English learning and teaching.
Take a look at both the CDLP and SuccessfulEnglish.com today for some good resources.

Best regards!
Dear Jeff,
Thanks for mentioning this site. Classroom teachers are always on the lookout for new ideas, (or old ideas they just haven’t heard of yet!) and this is a welcome addition to my list of bookmarks.
I don’t know how you and Lucy keep coming up with new material week in and week out. What imaginations you have!
Best regards,

I have just seen it and it’s really a very interesting site, as you say Jeff this teacher Warren Ediger has nice and clear voice, speaks faster than the way we are accustomed to
but it’s also possible to see and hear new vocabulary. We can improve listening to faster reading.
Thanks a million Jeff, it may be another step to improve our English to hear other voices despite I like always to hear yours and Lucy ever.
By the way it’s so generous from you part to recomend us, your pupils, to listen to another colleague that make you even greater to my eyes. This is not usual in the
world we live. That makes you as good person as good teacher you are, and of course this fair conduct (fair play) is not a surprise for me, neither for all your
listener I think.
Sorry to express my feelings so clear and so public but that is what I think.
Wow.. I´m very happy to see this post Jeff and Lucy!!!
