Biliterate education in Floria

Hi all,

Read the article or listen to the podcast from NPR about a bilingual immersion program in Miami. It nicely speaks to one of our most recent class discussion: Students use of L1 in the English classrooms.

In honor of national coming out day: Give a damn campaign

Dear TESOLers,

Check out this website that presents some powerful and thought-provoking information and videos on a wide range of social and political issues that surround GLBTcommunities. Most of them are relevant to you as future teachers. Hope we all "give a damn" one day.

See you tomorrow,
