This has been SUCH  a great resource throughout this Advocacy and Leadership class. I have enjoyed the articles and resources I have found through this website and couldn’t help but share. 🙂
I found this through a friend in my ESL program. Great visual and helpful ten dos and don’ts for teaching vocabulary!
So, You Think You Can Teach ESL?
I came across an article a while back about teaching vocabulary. It’s always a challenge to teach, because usually most methods rely on rote memorization and drilling. Both of those methods are ineffective (for the most part). Children learn words better through reading in context, as well as paring the word with the object it describes.
This article, from TeachThought, has some excellent tips for teaching vocab! I’d love to share the pic with you!
Now these strategies may not be effective for everyone, rarely anything is 100% effective 100% of the time, BUT at least you can make the most of these strategies and see improvements in your students’ retention and applying skills.

I found this article while browsing for ELL advocacy news. I think it is a good article helping decipher what issues and audience to advocate for. I enjoyed the read. 🙂
I was browsing through Facebook the other night and came across this video. I didn’t think much of it until I started watching and realizing how truly tough English can be until examples like this! You gotta love Lucy! 🙂
Here are the TESOL technology standards via the TESOL website! A peer posted this on her blog and shared with our ESL Leadership class! The TESOL Technology standards help English Language teachers how to use technology in their classroom to help their ELL students advance in their language acquisition.

Here is my video from EDU 583 Linguistic theory! It is recommendations for a high school teacher for her ELL student! 🙂
This article was sent to me from my ELL teacher at school. She thought it was very interesting as we have school-wide RTI. I enjoyed it and think it has very good information about ELLs in RTI!
I really enjoyed this code of frontloading for English Language Learners. This follows a preschool teacher who teaches many ELL students. She focused a lot on using props and visuals to teach vocabulary in the beginning of the lesson so that she can have students get a better grasp of the concept and vocabulary. It is definitely worth the watch!
I watched this video in class for a weekly assignment and throughly enjoyed it! I think it was so cool to see how our English language has developed over time and the different languages it has borrowed from. The man writing and drawing on the whiteboard makes it more engaging. 🙂
