Six 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 2020.

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:

GOING DIGITAL: FOUR SQUARES FOR BETTER SPEAKING is from ELTcation. Here’s an example. I’m adding it  to The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English.

Under Biden immigration change, more Central American children may join family in U.S. is from The L.A. Times.

Sandy Millin has written an extensive post about sessions she attended at the annual IATEFL conference. It’s all interesting, but the last one on clozes/gap-fills is really worth reading. I’m adding it to The Best Tools For Creating Clozes (Gap-Fills).

Words Matter – The Case for Shifting to “Emergent Bilingual” is from Language Magazine.

Why training California bilingual teachers just got harder is from Ed Source.

State orders stricter county oversight of districts’ spending for low-income kids, English learners is from Ed Source.
