“Stuckness
is simply reluctance to take the next small step. Cut your next step in
half. Make the next step as small as you
can. Then take it.” --- Martha Beck

Shout-out!
This past weekend, I attended my first #ELLSAPD
around #translanguaging. What is #ELLSAPD, you ask (because you already know
what #translanguaging is)? Good question!
Well, first ELLSA, English Language
Learning Specialists in Asia, is an organization of teachers in Asia that
connect, collaborate, and advocate for the teaching and learning of ELLs. ELLSA
offers a variety of professional learning opportunities, such as face-to-face
conferences and #ELLSAPD.
Now, #ELLSAPD provides a positive, social,
professional learning experience that is productive and focused on enhancing
the learning of English language learners. Professionals from all over Asia
meet at a particular time on Twitter to discuss a current EAL topic (for
example, here’s 14 September event overview). Some ELD professional meet at a
coffee shop and participate together while others participate alone (see
below). Regardless, it’s an amazing opportunity to share resources in a
professional learning environment.
If you want to see what it’s all about, visit #ELLSAPD and #translanguaging on Twitter. I’m sure you’ll see some
amazing things!
Peace-
