The goal of USA Learns’ Partners in Practice is to share supplementary activities and links to support the content presented at USALearns.org, a free Web site created to help US immigrants improve their English skills outside of a traditional classroom. So, if you haven’t been there yet, that’s where you need to start. (Don’t be shy; you can go there now – usalearns.org)
This blog is designed to save tutors and teachers time by pointing to links that give students more practice of the vocabulary, life skills, or grammatical structures they’ve learned in a USALearns unit.
The posts are organized according to the units of the First Course and the Second Course of USA Learns. Click a unit title from the list in the right column to find posts supporting topics covered in that unit. You could also click a specific Topic or use the Search function to find what you’re looking for.
Of course there are a TON of free activities and materials out there. If you have discovered activities and sites online that work well with certain units, please become a “partner” and share your info in a comment. Also, once your students have tried an activity let us know how it went and any tips to make it better.

Thanks for the great resources. The scripts will come in handy. One problem we always have at our school is the inability to view videos. Is there a format that can be used that gets by most school security, like teachertube does?

Thanks, John. Do you mean you can’t get to sites with videos that I’m linking to, or are you also not seeing the videos that I embed in the blog? I had hoped that by embedding videos on the blog you could have access, but now I’m not sure that’s the case. Let me know and I’ll try to work on alternatives if you are not seeing the embedded videos.
