Hi
I have added ESOL Chat Rooms to <http://www.esoluk.co.uk> I have created rooms according to language levels: E1, E2, E3, etc. It seemed to me to be an opportunity for ESOL learners to write messages to others of a similar level within a relatively 'safe' environment. There's also an option for tutors to create their own temporary rooms with passwords. Discussions can be saved and printed. I have tried to keep the design as simple and as clean as possible.
If tutors have alternative ideas for how rooms might be labelled, organised, etc, I would like to hear suggestions. If you would like a permanent room creating with your own password please let me know. Maybe members of the list have experiences and wisdom they would like to share with regard to language learning and chat rooms. See for example <http://iteslj.org/Lessons/Mynard-Chat.html>
Regards
Stephen
