THE BEST SEARCH ENGINES FOR ESL/EFL LEARNERS
TOP 5 BEST SEARCH ENGINES FOR ESL/EFL LEARNERS
1. Carrot Search Engine
Carrot Search Engine returns search results divided into themes. For example, I typed in “Roman Gladiator” and, in addition to getting a list of typical results from a search engine, I saw a listed of thematic categories. These included “Ancient Rome,” “Movie Gladiator,” and “Collectible Swords.” These themes, I think, will be helpful to English Language Learners as they try to get through all the “clutter” of search engine results.
2. Askives
Askives is
a new search engine that utilizes many of the question/answer sites that abound
on the Web. Like another similar site, Kngine, though, it appears to be able to separate the
good answers from the many useless and inaccurate ones that are out there.
3. Kiddle
Kiddle is a bilingual search engine. You type in
your search term and then choose two languages. Search results will show-up
side-by-side in both languages. It could come in very handy for English
Language Learners in content classes, as well as for their teachers who might
be looking for materials in a second language that they could offer to their
students for extra support. I was quite pleased with the searches I did, though
I wish they had separate “tabs” for videos. They provide bilingual searches for
Google and for Bing, plus a voice search capability.
5. Kiddle
Kiddle seems
like a very useful search engine for English Language Learners. The first few
pages of each search only show very accessible sites.
5. Kidy
Kidy is a new search engine for children. I experimented with it for a little bit, including using the “go to” search engine topic I always use on these kinds of search engines: “gladiator.” I was impressed.
Feedback, as always, is
welcome.
