HEL (History of the English Language)

I have just added a link to the HEL (History of the English Language) website under the Helpful Writing Resources section of this page. While this site might only be extremelly appealing to obsessive grammarians and history buffs, it could prove helpful when trying to contextualize standardized grammatical "rules" for students. Some learners, myself included, have a hard time retaining information when it is presented out of context. If you find that your students need a little contextual background to help your grammar lessons stick, check out HEL!
