Also a shout-out for Liam Printer's Motivated Classroom podcast. Not super heavy on research - mainly CI and Deci and Ryan - but strong on the classroom.

On that topic - my links site to research articles informedlanguagteacher.com Also non-US books relating research to practice, eg our The Language Teacher Toolkit & blogs such as G. Conti's. I know of no better 'research to practice' blog. Agreed - most teachers are not very switched on by research.

What the what? A SLAyyy blog!
This blog is meant to serve as an area to share some of the best Gaslight-Gatekeep-Girlbossing we have come across.
To kick things off, Bill shares how he goes about reading articles and putting them into use.
PLUS a free research-reading note catcher! #langchat

Girl, what are you doing? You've got a podcast episode to listen to!!
Our new episode with the excellent Timothy Chávez is out, where we talk about peer-to-peer interaction and input! Is it really "garbage"? Hear what we (and some research) have to say!

We're back with our 4th season/semester! In this episode, we talked to Jon Cowart about a strategy he LOVES, and I think he convinced both of us of its importance and utility: Total Physical Response (TPR)!

It was delightful to meet listeners at #ACTFL25! We'll have a semester wrap up episode next week that doesn't touch on ACTFL (we had to record it early, holidays, ya know), and then we'll be looking forward to new episodes in the new year.
What topics would you like to learn more about and discuss?

If you're heading to #ACTFL25, I hope to see you there! In the podcast, I give the wrong time for my ACTFL presentation. I'll be presenting with Esme Mora and Kristi Lentz of @languageboard.bsky.social on Friday at 4:30 in room 213. Our topic: Curating Diverse and Inclusive Classroom Libraries.
