[eal-bilingual] Using foreign language websites in school

I frequently use home language websites with new arrivals and early stage learners - Bangladeshi, Urdu, Chinese, Farsi, Russian etc. I also make great deal of the online translation dictionaries when working with them.

As to the inappropriate sites, we use Websense.
