Looking for the 'old' English and ESOL Online sites?
The New Zealand Ministry of Education has now closed the previous versions of ESOL Online and English Online - and their sub-sites - following the advertised transitional period.
These new versions of English and ESOL Online have been developed to support New Zealand teachers and educators. For further information, click here (About this site)

Student sites on English Online
As you may be aware, the student sites have not been moderated since December 2008.
The student sites - Barb Wired, Book BackChat, ReadHot, Readers' Cafe and Writers' Window - will be reviewed for potential redevelopment later in 2009. If you are a student keen to keep publishing your writing online, we can recommend Writing.Com
and KidPub
as great places to start.
We understand that there are many teachers and students who have enjoyed using the sites, and valued the interaction of its associated communities. We will endeavour to offer equivalent services as soon as is practical.
Kind regards
