Eight years ago, I started a regular feature where I share posts and resources from around the Web related to ESL/EFL or language in general that have caught my attention.
If you’re interested, you can also check out THE BEST RESOURCES, ARTICLES & BLOG POSTS FOR TEACHERS OF ELLS IN 2021.
Don’t forget to take a look at A Collection Of My Best Resources On Teaching English Language Learners.
And remember to explore our book on teaching ELLs, which was published in the Spring of 2018, and learn about our new book.
Here are some choices for this week:
