The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign contains many useful resources to facilitate academic study and research in the teaching and learning of English as a second, foreign, or international language. These resources are primarily located in either the Social Sciences, Health, and Education Library (SSHEL) or the Literatures & Languages Library. The Curriculum Collection in SSHEL maintains a small number of textbooks and classroom resources to aid the beginning English learner, particularly those in the elementary or secondary grades. These materials are located under the call numbers 428.24, 428.34, or 428.64, preceded by the prefixes TEXT or CURR. In addition, the Department of Linguistics maintains a specialized library facility. The TESL Library, located in Room 3046 of the Foreign Languages Building, is an excellent source of information on English language education. It houses a collection of books, select current journals, and equipment.
To find the location of the items listed below, search the Online Library Catalog.

If you would like to browse bookshelves for materials about English as an Second/International Language, material with Dewey call numbers in the 420s and 428s or with the Library of Congress call numbers starting with PE will yield the best results. Again, the Social Sciences, Health, and Education Library (SSHEL) and the Literatures & Languages Library have the most relevant material. However, the Undergraduate Library and Communications Library may house some materials. In addition, older materials are often located in the Main Library Bookstacks (Main Stacks) on the Library's second floor or Oak Street Facility (request these items through the Online Library Catalog).
The following is a breakdown of the linguistics and English language call number range. For more information about call numbers, see the How to Read a Library of Congress Call Number and Guide to Reading Dewey Decimal Call Numbers.

Most of these sites offer general information as well as pages for both English teachers and students of the language. Therefore, teachers and learners are encouraged to visit each of the sites. Nonetheless, the websites are arranged into categories indicating their primary focus. The sites contain insight into English-language topics, activities for learning the language, general interest reading in English, teaching tools such as lesson plans, related links to additional sites, and much more.
