As the school year winds down, here are some recent articles and posts with positive words for language teachers:

An essay by college student Maisy Menzies about her high school Spanish teacher: "Her class wasn’t simply a Spanish language class, but a history, geography and literature class all at once. Her lesson plans spanned from simple listening warmups to reading the short story “Borges y Yo” by Jorge Luis Borges, knowing full well that we wouldn’t have understood it even if it was in English. But as she explained the story –– about a man who has separate public and private personas –– she made it incredibly relatable to us high schoolers by connecting it to social media presences."
