You might also be interested in THE BEST RESOURCES, ARTICLES & BLOG POSTS FOR TEACHERS OF ELLS IN 2019 – PART ONE.
. Also, check out A Collection Of My Best Resources On Teaching English Language Learners.
In addition, look for our new book on teaching ELLs, which was published in the Spring of 2018.

Is It a Video Game—or a Better Way to Learn Foreign Languages? is from The Daily Beast.
WestEd has some excellent free articles on teaching ELLs (scroll down on the page).
Netflix and learn – six ways to teach English language skills with television is from The British Council. I’m adding it to The Best Popular Movies/TV Shows For ESL/EFL.
Minimal reading mode is a browser extension that might be useful for ELLs. It basically enables you to “engineer” test to make it more accessible. There are also other similar tools (see New Software Makes Text Easier To “Read”).
BeeLinguaApp is a neat reading app that shows texts side-by-side in two languages. Here are a few similar resources:
