As teachers, we know learning is most meaningful when relevant, if it resonates emotionally with students, and if it is anchored in a real-life context. Education should connect students to the world around them. We find pedagogical support for engaging students as world change-makers as far back as the early 19th century. Dewy called on educational institutes to not only prepare students to be participatory members of society post school, but to have students learn more and better by being participatory members of society while they are learning. In today's podcast we will hear how one expert in the field of ESL is doing just that.

Words matter. "Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble." -Yehuda Berg Today's discussion, with John Wayne N. dela Cruz, takes a look at what we know about effective vocabulary instruction, the difference in student gains between implicit and explicit vocabulary instruction and how do we choose the words to teach.

ESL teachers usually agree that students need to have an understanding of grammar. To be effective speakers and writers in their L2, students need to use proper grammar. The question remains, what exactly are the most effective methods for teaching grammar.
Here, teachers do disagree on what types of grammar teaching methods are the most effective. Some teachers begin their classes with prescribed grammar exercises, one lesson following and building upon the next. Some try to bring it up more organically in classroom settings and address it only when errors occur, but what does the research show?
Here to talk everything grammar, or almost everything grammar is Philippa Bell.

If your classroom looks anything like mine, addressing learning differences is a real necessity. So few educators (me included) feel like they have been adequately prepared to meet the needs of L2 learners with disabilities. For this reason, I am so excited to introduce Alexandra Coutlée and Lysiane Dallaire who are here to share some of their ideas, resources and expertise to help us provide better instruction to all of our learners.
