Comics Can be Used to Teach ESL

When I was a teenager learning French, we used the Asterix and Obelix comics to master some of the more informal and slang French terms. This was always my favorite part of French class because often the comics, along with political comics, would reflect the culture of the place where the language was spoken. So I'd learn not only about the French language, but about long-running in-jokes and cultural norms.

Today, in my TESOL research, I saw this interesting post from the American TESOL Institute about nine websites that are useful for finding comics to aid in teaching English as a second language.
