Learn English Online
My name is Schiller J. Ambroise. I am a retired educator of over 28 years. For 20 of those years, I worked with students of Haitian descent teaching reading and math in Haitian Creole. I am also fluent in French. For years, I searched for educational resources for my students in their native language (Haitian Creole) and was unsuccessful. I decided to create my own. Over the years, I’ve been able to create over 100 tutorials in Haitian Creole and English for use in the classroom. As I continue to expand the scope of the educational resources, I will add more academic skills to the site. All tutorials will always be provided free of charge.
I also had the opportunity to work as an ESL-Bilingual instructional Coach for an urban district with a large English Language Learner population for six years. I provide, on this website, many of the resources I used to assist teachers of Language Learners. I created a Youtube Channel dedicated to assisting teachers of Language Learners. It can be accessed here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL_e48z694tw9bqI1mUbHjg
Below are some online resources for more information on instructional strategies for Language Learners.
1) Bridging Refugee Youth & Children’s Services (BRYCS) is a national technical assistance program working to broaden the scope of information and collaboration among service providers in order to strengthen services to refugee children, youth, and their families. On this site, you will find guides for parenting in a new country, guides for discussing sensitive subjects with your children, free webinars, among other extremely useful articles and resources. Many of these resources are translated to several languages.
2) Colorín Colorado is the premier national website serving educators and families of English language learners (ELLs) in Grades PreK-12. Colorín Colorado has been providing free research-based information, activities, and advice to parents, schools, and communities around the country for more than a decade.

3) The Refugee Center Online is a website created for refugees and immigrants in the United States. It is a one-stop, comprehensive website that houses all of the resources and information newcomers need to build successful lives for themselves and their families here in America. Content has been curated by resettled refugees and immigrants and is written for ESL viewers and those with limited formal educations. Programs are further enhanced by both automated and manual translations and the latest in multi-modal learning techniques. They offer a free U.S. citizenship classes, GED prep classes, as well as information on housing and other important social service items. The site can be translated to various languages.
