I am wondering if you all know of any online materials that help teach or practice terminology or explain the process in a simple way. I am not so good at doing online searches for materials that are intended for younger learners or for ESL learners. Are there certain search engines that are suited for that purpose? Or do you know of specific websites? Thanks a lot!

You might be able to adapt some of the New York Times lesson plans, designed for native speakers, to NNSs. The general lesson plan website is at: http://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/lessons/index.html There is a link to archived lesson plans at the left.
