I just found out about this yesterday but I hope it helps.
Dear community,
I have lived in the SGV my whole life and I have so much love for all the people and the places that make the 626 so special. As I grew older, I became curious about the history of the SGV and I read as many articles and books as I could to learn about this place we call home. My two favorite books on the SGV are Wendy Cheng's The Changs Next Door to the Díazes (2013) and East of East: The Making of Greater El Monte by the South El Monte Arts Posse (SEMAP; 2020). While reading these books, I began exploring the SGV as much as I could. I'd ride my bike for hours, walk to neighboring cities, and even take the bus and the train to visit different landmarks mentioned in the books I'd read. Throughout my time exploring, I knew that I wanted to somehow give back to the SGV community for all the love it had blessed me with growing up. One day I began reflecting deeply about the relationship between the Chinese and Mexican population in particular, and I thought to myself, "Is there another part of the world where there exists a deep love and unity and respect between Chinese and Mexican people?" Then I remembered that when I was 14 or so, I visited some family members in the town of Mexicali in the northern Mexican state of Baja California. One day during our stay we ate at a Chinese-Mexican fusion restaurant and from what I remember from our meal, the food was delicious. I googled "Mexicali, Chinese restaurants" and other related keywords over the next couple of hours until I finally stumbled upon a book that talked about the history of Chinese communities in Mexico. The book was The Chinese in Mexico, 1882-1940 by Robert Chao Romero (University of Arizona Press, 2010). I ordered the book online and when it arrived in early December of 2020, my journey into the history of Chinese communities in Mexico had begun. I learned that the Chinese community of Mexicali had been instrumental in the city's founding- by 1915 more than 80 percent of the city's population was of Chinese descent. Chinese fraternal and Chinese language associations established in the early 1900s provided the foundation for a successful and vibrant Chinese business community that continues to this day. There are hundreds of Chinese restaurants in Mexicali, and they are the heart and spirit of Mexicali's downtown economy. In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, over 90% of the Chinese population that immigrated to Mexico was from the southern province of Guangdong. Many came

Summary from the site:
One of the available languages is Korean. Change the language to Korean and then you can filter by 5 levels of difficulty. The higher the difficulty level the less story options, however. They also have accompanying audio that is read by a real (I am assuming native speaker) person. It is also permissible to download the stories and audio. All of this is legal. Happy reading!
Did anyone ever have any experience with open educational resources? Is there any use for them in the classroom?
Are there any OERs for English you would recommend? Specifically, I'm looking for first-year English courses (101/102), but I'd love to see anything.
Edit: FYC (First-Year Composition)/FYW (First-Year Writing)
For one example, I've used this OER for a few years now: writingspaces.org.
