Title: Blog Post: English Language Learners and Special Education
Body: From http://www.elltoolbox.com What about an ELL with a learning disability? This is a very common question and one that requires educators to consider many factors before referring an ELL to special education. Just like native speakers of English, ELLs may have learning differences that require the additional support of an IEP and special education. At the same time, it is crucial that we be mindful that having temporary low proficiency in a second language is not a disability, it is a natural part of the language acquisition process.

Topics covered so far include the legalization of drugs, healthcare inequality, the power of co-operatives, youth movements, and Internet rights. Linda and John have also prepared lessons for each issue, in the form of both powerpoints and PDFs. These lessons include vocabulary activities, discussion questions, visual aids and writing prompts aimed at preparing students to read certain articles.

Title: Designer Lessons Blog: Source of Ideas for English Language Learners
Body: From http://designerlessons.org/free-tefl-resources From the Designer Lessons Blog: “For the most part, the ‘designer lessons’ [on this blog] aim to elicit natural language in order to create a dialogic relationship between the teacher and the learner. In other words, we believe that student motivation is highest in a class where the students have opportunities to take the lead while the teacher guides, resulting in a co-creation of language in an environment that encourages both freedom of expression and the free-flow of student-led questions.” Browse through the lessons, which are organized by level, at http://designerlessons.org
