Five 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 2018 – So Far and The Best Resources, Articles & Blog Posts For Teachers Of ELLs In 2017 – Part Two. 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.
Here are this week’s choices:
Teaching ELLs with Short Animated Videos is by Valentina Gonzalez at Middleweb. I’m adding it to The Best Popular Movies/TV Shows For ESL/EFL.
The Diary of Anne Frank, Reimagined is an Atlantic review of a new “graphic novel” version of the Diary of Anne Frank. The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the few novels I’ve found available in multiple translations that I use with ELLs (see USING “THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK” WITH ELL NEWCOMERS!). I’m adding it to The Best Sites To Learn About Anne Frank.
Developing Learner Autonomy: A Homework Choice Board is from On The Same Page. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Homework Issues.
English-Learners and Social Media: Can Facebook Boost Literacy in Two Languages? is from Ed Week.
English-Learners and Ed Tech: A ‘Tool Kit’ From the Education Department is also from Ed Week.
Roll a Dice is from a Journey In TEFL.
When police team up with ICE, it ripples into classrooms is from The L.A. Times.
10 Ways to Value ELs’ Language Assets is from Tonya Ward Singer. I’m adding it to The Best Posts On Looking At Our Students Through The Lens Of Assets & Not Deficits.
Awaken English has some Arabic translations that can help with student Writing Frames. I’m adding it to The Best Scaffolded Writing Frames For Students.
CA, feds in new fight over how to classify English learners is from K-12 Daily. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About The Ins & Outs Of Reclassifying ELLs.
Here’s a great video about the #Ellchat_bkclub:

2/2 S’s picked out key words that helped them ID the setting, then explained why using sentence frames. They did an FAB job, and we can already see improvements in their writing! My principal observed this Co-Taught lesson as well. #winning #Coteaching #ellchat #ellchat_bkclub
