Since students of ESOL And EFL teachers don’t share the same native tongue, that general discussion may be a bit tangential to the general discussion here. And yet, there is agreement that CI can provide good things in this area for those in the group who are not World Language teachers.
So, I am making a new category for that discussion. If there are enough ESOL/EFL teachers in this group, perhaps we can invite some discussions on various topics that concern them from time to time and they can also act as points of reference for newcomers.
It seems so bizarre that ESOL/EFL teachers are not better served with meaningful discussion somewhere. So let’s make their presence more felt here, at least. Just because their student populations lack L1 homogeneity doesn’t mean we can’t fire up the discussion burners here.
I leave it to the group to get this going. We will call Katherine Burke the newly elected CEO of this group as it forms here in this PLC. David Young you are the VP in charge of whatever you want to be in charge of. There, authority in the new ESOL/EFL sandbox has been delegated.
