On 23rd November, I'll be speaking about classroom research at the #TESOL25 PreK-12 Day, a post virtual convention event for primary and secondary mainstream and EAL teachers and administrators.
Registration is now open: www.tesol.org/virtual/prek...
#TESOL25 provided many #ELT presentations, several invigorating discussions, and many teaching tips. Yet I appreciated seeing old friends and meeting new friends the most. I had many #CompellingConversations too!
BTW, the #TESOL convention was a fun, gun-free gathering too! Ask more; know more!
You guys rocked!
As you noted, too many English teachers fear #AI and ignore its potential to spark curiosity and strengthen #writing skills. Thank you for sharing your insights, #teaching techniques, and materials. #TESOL25 #ESL #ELT #TESOL

At Claude Goldenbergβs session at #TESOL25 and he is blowing my mind, talking at length about The American Tradition: Bilingual Education. I knew this to be true, but he laid out all the details. A smaller percentage of children are currently, in 2025, receiving bilingual education than in 1900.
