Three years ago I began this regular feature where I share a few posts and resources from around the Web related to ESL/EFL or to language in general that have caught my attention.
You might also be interested in The Best Resources, Articles & Blog Posts For Teachers Of ELLs In 2015 – Part Two and The Best Websites For English Language Learner Students In 2015 – Part Two.
Here are this week’s choices:
Is there a best age at which to learn a second language? is from Quartz.
New York Expands Services for Families Who Speak Little or No English is from Ed Week.
Can Texas Figure Out How to Teach English to Immigrant Children? is from The Atlantic.
English Language Learners with Learning Disabilities is a video from Colorin Colorado. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Assisting ELLs With Special Needs – Help Me Find More.
California’s Existing Gaps in EL Education is from Ed Central.
Reclassifying English Language Learners: What’s the effect on Wisconsin high schoolers? is from The Brookings Institution. Other research has come to different conclusions.
PlayPhrase is a site somewhat similar to Divii – it lets you type in words or phrases, and then shows video clips of them being said. I learned about it from AnthonyTeacher.com. I’ve added it to The Best Reference Websites For English Language Learners.
