Title: Inclusive Pedagogy and the Language-Learning Classroom
Body:
From http://blog.coerll.utexas.edu/inclusive-pedagogy/
Language pedagogy most often focuses on linguistic theory and the most successful modes of language learning. Discussions of inclusivity, however, are crucial to successful language pedagogy; in fact, language learning and teaching are largely about coming in contact with different populations and broadening our worldview. Inclusive pedagogies aim to outline implementable practices that encourage open and welcoming learning environments for all populations and identities. In this article by Sarah Le Pichon, an Assistant French Instructor at the University of Texas at Austin, read about Inclusive Pedagogy and techniques that can be used in the language learning classroom.

Title: If the Resource Fits, Use it! (But What Fits?)
Body:
From https://musicuentos.com/2018/11/if-the-resource-fits-tflta-18/
The author of this article believes that looking for “authentic or learner material” as a guide for choosing resources is the wrong question. The real question should be about what material is going to fit for your classroom. By fitting, the author means the resource must support acquisition and push proficiency. In other words, a resource fits when it supports an activity that is achievable, comprehensible, and engaging.
This article by Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell argues what a fitting resource is and also gives a couple of resource examples that you could use for your language classroom. To read the full article, visit https://musicuentos.com/2018/11/if-the-resource-fits-tflta-18/
