Eight 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 2021.
Also, check out A Collection Of My Best Resources On Teaching English Language Learners.
In addition, look for our book on teaching ELLs, which was published in the Spring of 2018 and learn about our new book.

I’m adding this tweet to The Best Resources On The Importance Of Correctly Pronouncing Student Names:
My name is Miguel, but a lot of my teachers called me Michael.
In 7th grade I finally had the courage to tell my principal that I’d like to be called by the name that my Latino parents gave me — Miguel, not Michael.To any student that is reading this, your identity matters.
