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 2019 – PART ONE.

In addition, look for our new book on teaching ELLs, which was published in the Spring of 2018.

I’m adding this next tweet to The Best Web Tools For Teaching Irregular Verbs & Verb Tenses — Contribute Your Suggestions!:
Great ideas here! I’d add: Ss each hunt for favorite sentence in a piece of writing (usually from their Quick Writes). They identify verb tense. Then, share at table & table groups choose 1 of the sentences to jointly write in past/present/future versions. Share aloud.
