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 and THE BEST RESOURCES, ARTICLES & BLOG POSTS FOR TEACHERS OF ELLS IN 2019 – 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 and learn about our next book.
Here are this week’s choices:
Teaching Techniques to Scaffold Reading for English Learners is by Valentina Gonzalez.
Lessons from Chicago Public Schools on Meeting the Needs of English Language Learners is from Ahead of the Curve.
How English Learners Got Left Behind in the Drive Towards Equity is by Conor Williams.
Baltimore students learning English say they still don’t have a fair shot at the city’s top schools is from The Baltimore Sun.
This tweet shares a great story:

I’m adding this tweet to The Best Scaffolded Writing Frames For Students:
This is the writing practice I’m talking about! They used those boxes the ENTIRE semester! Practice. Persistence. Patience. Eventually as moved from the boxes and went straight to writing in test format. The scaffold was no longer needed! #WritingMatters #ellchat_bkclub pic.twitter.com/wqhZ9fedRB
