Around The Web In ESL/EFL/ELL
Eight years ago I began this regular feature where I share a few posts and resources from around the Web related to ESL/EFL or to language in general that have caught my attention. You might also be interested in all my Best lists on teaching ELLs. Also, check out A Collection Of My Best Resources On Teaching English Language Learners. In addition, look for our latest book on teaching ELLs, The ELL Teacher’s Toolbox 2.0. Here are this week’s choices: U.S. Citizenship Test Questions and Answers is from Boundless. I’m adding it to The Best Websites For Learning About Civic Participation & Citizenship. ELL students can watch these videos and then talk/write about what they saw:

Research Studies Of The Week Mohamed_hassan / Pixabay I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature. You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here. Here are some new useful studies (and related resources): Why Hasn’t Tutoring Been More Effective? is from Ed Week.
How personalized algorithms trick your brain into wrong answers is from Science Daily. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Understanding “Personalized Learning”
 Schools Are Spending $4 Billion Annually On SEL, Apparently Much Of It On Digital Platforms? Give Me A Break….
Education Week recently published an article, Is Your School’s SEL Strategy Working? The Questions Every Educator Should Ask, which highlighted the above statistic. The article linked to two resources. One is the Social and Emotional Learning Market Report 2026, which primarily talks about paying for digital resources. The other is a resource for “Evidence-Based Social and Emotional Learning” from the organization the author of the article runs. Personally, the main question I’d ask is “Why the hell are you spending any money on Social Emotional Learning when there are zillions of free effective classroom resources?” I’ve written multiple books chockful of evidence-based SEL lessons, and those books are just a drop in the bucket of excellent SEL resources that are available. You can find a ton of related “Best” lists here. I am not at all suggesting SEL be a low-priority for schools. In fact, I recommend the exact opposite. But, really, they should spend their money elsewhere…..  Wemby’s Post-Game Interview Is Made-To-Order For An SEL Lesson
I’ve been a New York Knicks fan for nearly sixty-years (I grew-up on Staten Island), but how can you not like Victor Wembanyama? After being responsible for throwing the ball away for a turnover, and then missing the final shot, he modeled what taking responsibility is like: 
Which is why I’m add this info to The Best Resources For Helping Students (& The Rest Of Us) Learn The Concept Of Not Blaming Others. And, then, he followed those comments up with this:
And that’s why I’m also adding this info to The Best Posts, Articles & Videos About Learning From Mistakes & Failures. This is not the first time I’ve highlighted how Wemby is a great model for our students.
