I’m smitten with this book by Sheila Thorn who does a thorough takedown on “teaching listening” and really clarifies that what the vast majority of #TESOL Ts do is actually “Learning English through listening” rather than “Learning to listen in English”. She’s very careful not to completely dismiss all practices most #ELTs use in their classes for listening activities, but does clarify that most of what we’re doing isn’t doing what we think it’s doing. Fascinating and well-reasoned work here!

I almost skipped this video on Translanguaging vs Code Switching because I wasn't feeling particularly political, but when the reveal comes at around the 10 minute mark it becomes clear of why he laid out the fairly extensive foundation first. EXCELLENT work and explanation by Mike Mena

I keep seeing people saying they are happy to use AI text generators as sources of factual information, because they're confident that when the thing generates an inaccurate answer they'll easily spot it.

Speaking from my experience of 20+ years of professional fact-checking: the errors you can spot easily are not the ones you need to worry about.

I’m really struggling with where I want to be socially in the post-Twitter eduverse.

Obviously any question asked directly on a platform will be biased toward people ON that platform, but still I want to know: where are you finding engaged teachers these days?

So does this mean that learning English Language and Literature is harder than taking the bar? 😎
