The Language Learning & Technology journal is a website that has a wide array of articles on first and second language acquisition. It is a really great resource for teachers who do not want to fall behind on the latest language acquisition developments so that they can best provide for their students. 

Second resource: https://www.actfl.org 
ACTFL is a membership based community that would be a great resource for teachers who are passionate about being culturally aware and diverse in their classroom.

ABCya is a website that offers hundreds of educational games for students. The particular game linked is one that has students connect different parts of speech to words of that category. This is a fun way to help students practice their word and parts of speech recognition. 

Resource 2: https://www.readwritethink.org
Read Write Think is a website made to help students develop their understanding of grammar and sentence structure. One game I found was Sentence Ninja, where students must 'slice' through incorrect sentences and rearrange them correctly.

Flip is a website where a teacher can create a page where students upload videos of themselves presenting, playing a game, etc. It is a great way for students to develop their oral skills and gain confidence in speaking before they speak in front of a group. As an educator, I can encourage them to practice their tone, delivery and watch their body language to further improve their communication.

Resource 2: Podcasts
As an educator of future EB/EL students, I would encourage them to find a podcast based on something they enjoy, like a game, tv series, etc. Podcasts can help hone their listening comprehension and encourage them to think critically, and if it is on a topic they are interested in, they are more likely to pay attention and get more out of it. ]]> 2023-05-03 18:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/raquelreynae/5buwjxt3t3u7k405/wish/2577170583 raquelreynae https://padlet.com/raquelreynae/5buwjxt3t3u7k405/wish/2577183692 Things like pictures and charts are very supportive for ELL's and their reading comprehension.
