The webroom began over 15 years ago at Spring International Language Center, with intensive English schools in Colorado and Arkansas.  At first the site was only for Spring students, but gradually grew to be used by many others online.

Sadly, after 44 years and over 20,000 students from over 120 countries, Spring has closed in 2023.  Now, the webroom continues as a dot-com website to provide utility for ESL students, teachers, and schools all over the world.

The ESL webroom is created, designed, and run by Tom Rohrbach as a free online resource.

If you have suggestions or requests for the site, please contact us! 

If you find the ESL webroom helpful, please consider donating on GoFundMe to help defray expenses.  Thanks!
