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. PLUS, we’ve just submitted the manuscript for the second edition of The ESL/ELL Teacher’s Survival Guide! That book will be out in early 2022.
Here are this week’s choices:
This is a VERY interesting article: Why Are Duolingo’s Sentences So Weird? is from Slate.
How Brains Seamlessly Switch Between Languages is from Scientific American.
Sing it or speak it?: the effects of sung and rhythmically spoken songs on preschool children’s word learning is a new study.
Some states dropping ‘dehumanizing’ terms for immigrants is from NBC News.
A Brief History of Santa is from EFL Summer School. I’m adding it to The Best Places To Learn About Christmas, Hanukkah, & Kwanzaa.
Here’s a cool writing lesson using “keys.”
I’m adding Chat with Santa Claus to The Best Online “Chatbots” For Practicing English.
Her dream to teach English in Japan ended with a lesson for the country is from CNN.
Prepping New Teachers to Fully Serve ELLs is from Middleweb.

“Our findings challenge the claim that hosting refugees heightens the risk of ‘importing’ terrorist attacks, especially in developed countries. However, refugees themselves are particularly prone to becoming the targets of terrorist attacks by natives” https://t.co/j2oAeb84dS
