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 all my Best lists on teaching ELLs.

Also, check out A Collection Of My Best Resources On Teaching English Language Learners.

In addition, look for our latest book on teaching ELLs, The ELL Teacher’s Toolbox 2.0.

Here are this week’s choices:

Ozu lets you search video clips to find what you’re looking for – it could be useful in class.

Learning Briefs — Series 3: Cultivating and Supporting Quality Teachers of Newcomer and Multilingual Learners is from The Internationals Network.

INTERNATIONALS NETWORK RESOURCE BANK FOR SUPPORTING MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS is from…the Internationals Network. I’m adding it to THE BEST RESOURCES TO HELP EDUCATORS TEACH ELL NEWCOMERS.

The Immigration Initiative at Harvard has a bunch of very useful educator and policy briefs on ELLs, like this one on Implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching Practices for Immigrant-Origin Students that I’m adding to The Best Resources About “Culturally Responsive Teaching” & “Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy” – Please Share More!

Considerations and Suggestions When Adopting a Reading Difficulties Screener for Multilingual Learners is from Californians Together.

Newcomer Support Resources comes from the Center for Equity for English Learners (CEEL).

We have two new episodes of GO FIGURE, explaining a key chart from our research spotlighting English Learners in @chipubschools.bsky.social high schools.

Sabi and Avatalks are two new Ai-powered language learning tools.

Presentation, Practice, Production Common Mistakes is from The Barefoot TEFL Teacher.  I had never heard of “PPP” before, but I guess it’s an ESL version of “I do, we do, you do.”

Are structured conversations a breakthrough for student engagement, or do they “break” the creative mind? @C_Hendrick @effortfuleduktr @JohnSeidlitz @DrCarolSalva @AnnaTeachesMLLs @SoLInTheWild @MrZachG https://t.co/kOxWV5pAWF pic.twitter.com/2VHEk1nFVd
