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.

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.
