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:

A SHORT GUIDE TO ACRONYMS IN ELT is from EFL Magazine. I’m adding it to The Best Guides To ESL/EFL/ELL Terminology.

Re-Engaging Multilingual Learners Post-Pandemic: Lessons from Internationals Network for Public Schools is from The Internationals Network.

Protecting immigrant students’ rights to a public education is a multilingual guide from The Southern Poverty Law Center.

Cloze it is a Google Docs add-on that lets you easily create clozes. I’m adding it to The Best Tools For Creating Clozes (Gap-Fills).

Using ELL Strategies in the Science Classroom is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Teaching The Next Generation Science Standards To English Language Learners.

STUDY SHOWS SECOND-LANGUAGE LEARNING CAN HAPPEN QUICKLY is from The University of Kansas.
