I'm an ESL teacher myself and here are some sites that you can use!\nI strongly advise you the "scholastic" one.

Here are some I found in a search:\n\nhttp://www.rong-chang.com/  Lot's of practice specifically for ESL students (English as a second language).\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/esl/eslstudent.html  The Online Writing Lab of Purdue University is one of the best English websites out there.\n\nhttp://www.usingenglish.com/  More online resources\n\nhttp://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ Not necessarily for ESL, but one of my personal favorites (I'm an English teacher).\n\nhttp://esl.about.com/od/englishgrammar/ More lessons and practice.\n\nGood luck!!

Hi there, I think the site you want is move-on.org.uk its is linked to the Dept of Education so it may have been given to you by a teacher.  You can test your skills at L1 and L2.\n\nHave fun!

Do your own test questions

You should specify in what aspect of applied linguistics you are interested, and teaching EFL at what age and what aspects? There is a lot of information, hope this links will help you. You should go through the linguistic journals, that's the best sauce for research. http://www.eflpress.com/how_to_be_an_effective_efl.html     This is an Asian journal, but there are some research articles on EFL: \nhttp://www.asian-efl-journal.com/; http://applij.oxfordjournals.org/;\nhttp://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0802-6106

I would recommend IELTS, as it is internationally recognised. It's used by the NHS and other UK government bodies for recruitment from abroad, as well as for America. There are test centres in Ireland. Follow the link and click on 'Ireland' for a full list.\nhttp://www.langcent.manchester.ac.uk/ieltscentre/ukieltstestcentres/#Ireland

there is a program called rosetta stone it is kinda of expensive but it is supposed to be the best in the world.\n\nPS you are planning to take the test not give the test - the teacher/proctor gives the exam you take it\n\nfor more simple - get a video of an english show/movie that has a lot of simple dialog.  turn on the closed caption and record yourself speaking the dialog of the actors.  then listen to yourself back then listen to them so you can see how you sound different. and what words you need to improve on
