Dave's ESL Cafe--Okay, so you already know this one, and you know how great it is. Students can take interactive quizzes, participate in discussions with other ESL learners, learn new idioms and slang, find an e-mail pen pal, ask questions, chat, yada, yada, yada. Teachers can participate in discussions with other ESL/EFL professionals, find jobs, exchange lesson ideas, chat, yada, yada. Truly, if you're not already a regular visitor, go there now! You won't be disappointed.
Oz ESL Online: English as a Second Language Teaching/Learning--A very nice site from OZ ESL Books. Students can take lots of quizzes. Teachers can get lots of lesson ideas. Have fun, mates!
Englishclub.net--English Language Club for EFL/ESL Students & Teachers--This one is also pretty good. Students can take quizzes, play games, find e-mail pen pals (yes, even romantic ones), and study business English. There's also a section on classroom activities and ideas for teachers.

EF Englishtown: Learn English Online!--At EF Englishtown's site, you can choose what language you use to study English. (Of course, Karin recommends you study English in English!) There's a chat room, a pen pal club, and a very cool interactive game called Word Drop (it's in the Game Hall under Learning Fair). There are also several rooms for teachers.
