Countless online resources

Recently, I have known of the existence of the blog "Ayuda para Maestros", an amazing compilation of 40 online tools and resources for teachers. I highly recommend having a look at it!

TESOL 2015 Convention: Culture

I am really interested in teaching culture in ESL classes. I believe that the knowledge and understanding of the English-speaking world might be a motivation for learners. If they get in touch with the cultural background and they find delight in getting to know about it, they will possibly want to be more fluent speaking the target language. Basically, I think that one of the learners' goal is to learn a language so as to have access to everythink related to the native speakers of that language.

That is the reason why I consider interesting this year's TESOL convention, which focuses on culture. Its theme was "Crossing Borders, Building Bridges”, and it is possible to read a summary of the sessions in this link.
