Welcome educators! In this week's episode of My Adventures in ESL, we're diving into how to use your summer intentionally by building simple, effective systems that will support you—and your students—all year long. Whether you're a first-year teacher or a veteran, setting up classroom systems during the summer isn't about perfection. It's about preparation. With the right tools and routines in place, you can avoid the chaos of survival mode and step into the new school year with clarity, calm, and confidence. You'll walk away with ideas for routines across the four language domains, how to create a newcomer welcome system, and strategies to establish goal-setting and feedback structures—all while giving yourself permission to start small and go at your own pace.

In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores what it means to love your immigrant neighbor in light of Pentecost, Scripture, and the global reality of immigration. From the birth of the church in Acts 2 to God's heart for foreigners in Leviticus 19, this teaching unpacks how followers of Jesus are called to treat immigrants and refugees—not with political bias, but with biblical love, dignity, and friendship. Through stories from CCC's ESL ministry, personal reflections, and clear biblical guidance, you'll be challenged to make space in your life for someone who may not look, sound, or live like you—but bears the same image of God.Whether you're curious about immigration, wrestling with how to respond as a Christian, or simply want to be part of something bigger, this message will inspire you to see and love your neighbors in a new light.
O Dauphiné reuniu alguns dos maiores ciclistas da atualidade e a primeira etapa neste domingo rendeu muitas surpresas e uma obviedade: vitóra de Tadej Pogacar. Vingegaard atacou, Pogacar responde, MVDP pegou a ponta e Remco conseguiu saltar depois...tava todo mundo ali e um pelotão sedento para neutralizar a fuga. Não deu. Vamos falar disso e sobre o domínio da FDJ. Se antes Demi Vollering era o centro das atenções, essa semana a equipe francesa se mostrou bem mais do que uma banda de uma música só. Levaram a Volta da Catalunha e o Tour of Britain. Tem também os destaques brasileiros, com a etapa da Copa do Mundo de MTB, Avancini na Eslôvenia e muito mais. Chegue junto.

С гости Китодар Тодоров и Мартин Кадинов се гмуркаме в света на компютърните игри – не просто като забавление, а като индустрия, спорт и културен феномен. Всички в студиото имат дългогодишен опит в гейминга – като професионални играчи, създатели на съдържание и организатори на гейм общности. В епизода говорим за: • Възхода (и кризата) на гейминга като спорт • Еволюцията на бизнес моделите – от копия до loot boxes • Кога геймингът ще стане олимпийски спорт (spoiler: 2027) • Какво променя ИИ в създаването на игри • Метавселената – мит или скоро реалност • Игрите като инструмент за учене и личностно развитие Гледайте и на видео тук: https://youtu.be/SYs2dYU9U5M За гостите Мартин Кадинов е съосновател и управляващ партньор в TDB Play, създател на #гудгейм - движение за благотворителност чрез видео игри. Мартин се увлича от дете по видео игрите и дигиталните забавления, а кариерата му в сферата на електронните спортове започва като професионален състезател в Warcraft 3, където се нарежда сред най-добрите в света /2003-2004г./. През последните 20 години Мартин Кадинов се посвещава на развитието на гейминг културата и електронните спортове в България.През 2003 г. основава български франчайз на световния пионер и лидер в сферата на електронните спортове – ESL, а от 2014 г. поема позиция в компанията като мениджър за Югоизточна Европа и отговаря за регион от 14 държави с общо население от 80 млн. човека. Китодар канал В този канал ви очакват: ревюта, абсурдно забавни моменти с гости, цели предавания, ънбоксинги, инбоксинги (да, и това съществува) и още много – поднесено с неподражаемия хумор на Китодар Тодоров. По права линия актьорът и кинодеец Китодар Тодоров произлиза от древния дворянски род Тодорови, водещ началото си от легендарния Ратмир, загинал геройски през 1268 г. Завършил е Факултета по военна медицина към НАТФИЗ през 1959 г. – специалност „интуитивна диагноза и пантомима“. Според него, нищо не ни вдъхва увереност, че утре наистина ще имаме време да направим онова, което можем да направим днес. Затова трябва да играем – и да го правим така, сякаш изразяваме целия смисъл на живота си. За подкаста #about #podcast „Агент 001“ изследва пресечните точки на технологиите и обществото, на дигиталното и реалното, на нещата и данните за тях. Това е една от шестте серии на Ratio Podcast – подкаст за любопитни хора. С негова помощ ще навлезете в света на Изкуствения интелект и технологиите и ще чуете неформални разговори с интересни събеседници, свързани или вдъхновени от науката и AI.

On this episode, I cover seven easy ways for ESL presenters (presenters who present in English but English is their second language) to reduce nervousness. If English is your first language, don't worry, because most of the tips will help you as well. In fact, the first four of the seven tips are things that anyone can use to reduce public speaking fear.The remaining three tips are ones that are specific to ESL presenters (or presenters who are delivering presentations to international audiences.) One of the major benefits of reducing public speaking fear if English is not your first language is that your accent will, theoretically, be less pronounced as your nervousness goes down. In the episode, I explain why this happens and how to make it happen if you find that audiences have a tough time understanding you when you present.Full show notes are at We Help ESL Presenters Give Confident Presentations in English(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/a-step-by-step-way-to-help-esl-presenters-give-confident-presentations-in-english/)

Kirsten Dirksen, An Unexpected Career as a YouTube Home & Lifestyle Content Creator Show Notes: Kirsten Dirksen majored in economics and math, but found creative writing to be her passion. She decided to become a magazine writer and interned at the NBC affiliate in San Francisco, where she worked for free for about nine months. Working at NBC and Moving a Women's Network After her internship, she went to work with the NBC elite, which was the old chronicle enterprise. Kirsten became the music person, interviewing bands and creating unique stories for interviews. She eventually moved to New York City to work for Oxygen, a women's network. She then worked freelance in New York City and for other networks, including MTV, where she did music-themed stories. She worked freelance for a while, and the Sundance Channel took her to Spain to do an interview with Javier Bardem. She later met her husband in Barcelona. Reality T.V. and Early YouTube Videos Throughout her career, Kirsten has been passionate about storytelling and experimenting with different topics. She started working with an old Oxygen producer in Spain to film weddings for a reality show called The Knot. They traveled to various locations, and Kirsten edited the shows which took around five weeks to complete. However, when her husband started a website about environmental sustainability, together they made videos and put them on YouTube. The first viral video was about a micro apartment in New York. The video was picked up and shared on La Republica's homepage. This led to the story being picked up by Good Morning, America. We the Tiny House People and 20 Million Views After videos going viral in 2009, Kirsten and her husband continued posting YouTube videos. Since then she has done about five or six documentaries, with one being a taste-style documentary about the tiny house movement. The other two are family-based, chronicling the tiny house movement and the summer of family love. She has also done documentaries on homelessness, focusing on the experiences of homeless people in California. Kirsten's videos have gained popularity, with her first one being called We the Tiny House People, chronicling the tiny house movement. The second one, Our Summer of Family Love, was a road trip across the Pacific Northwest and West for the summer. Her other documentaries have focused on homelessness, focusing on solutions and solutions for those living in small homes. Her videos have gained attention and have been viewed over 20 million times on YouTube. She has also been a guest on the show The Tiny House People, where she shares her experiences with tiny house movements and the challenges faced by homeless people. From Documentarian to Author Kirsten began in a formal documentary unit in San Francisco and has since focused on documentaries and tours of tiny homes. Her book, Life-Changing Homes, is titled after these homes, which she believes sum up the stories they tell. The books are categorized into 10 chapters, each with a theme that focuses on simplicity, slowness, impermanence, elevation, restoration, underground survival, resurrection, and future. The book covers a variety of houses, from simple to large, and features thought-provoking chapter headings that cover two or three different houses that fit that theme. Each chapter covers about two or three different houses that fit that theme, and Kirsten interviews the owner. The focus is not on a specific category or type of house, but rather on the story itself. Kirsten's work has been praised for its stunning photos and focus on eco-friendly designs, making it an attractive resource for those interested in living in tiny homes. The book is expected to be a valuable resource for those interested in exploring these unique and sustainable living options. The People Who Live in Non-Traditional Dwellings Kirsten discusses the experiences of interviewing people in non-traditional dwellings, such as those in Ontario and California. She highlights the importance of considering what one truly needs out of a home and what skills they have. Some examples include a widow who built a dome home in Ontario, where she had a refrigerator that pops up like a gadget in Willy Wonka's factory. Another example is a chiropractor who bought land near the border of Oregon and started building a tree house and an earth ship along the way. He has a community of people living there. She also mentions the chief architect for Apple who has a small, open home in Sonoma County. He lived on the land first, but then went camping to find the best place to live. He bought two prefabs and kept everything small, with only the bathroom having a bit of a door. His wife and kids enjoyed the openness and connection to the surroundings. Kirsten emphasizes that it's not just about affordability, but also about making the most sense of the space. Sometimes too big houses can be worse than not having the views or being in touch with the surroundings. This is why she came back to the idea of living in a small, open space. The Importance of Simplicity The conversation turns to Thoreau and his way of thinking about time in nature, simplicity, and well-being. Kirsten discusses the importance of simplicity in her life and how it can impact her content creation. She also mentions a couple who live in the woods called the innermost house, which they call a place to reflect and experiment in simplicity. She talks about the connection between simplicity and high thinking, as seen in a woman who lived in a tiny house in her backyard in Santa Rosa, California back at a time when it was rebellious to live in a tiny, mobile home. Kirsten mentions how the woman found too many possessions cluttered her mind. Viral Videos and Duds Kirsten shares her experiences with videos that go viral and which ones are more of a dud. One example is a story with a young architect living in a 12th-century mansion in Spain. Another example is a video with Special Operations, a flying car from an off-grid home, which has had 700,000 views in a week. The title of the video is "Special Operations," which is about a special operations vet who lives on land at the top of a mountain and works as a rescue mission and firefighters. Kirsten shares her experience of becoming a content creator and how it has changed her outlook on life and making a living. It wasn't something she planned; however, it has given her a lot of freedom and afforded her an income that allows her to make a living. Plain Living and High Thinking The conversation turns to the process of making a video, including filming, editing, and producing the perfect thumbnail. Kirsten and her husband usually spend two to three hours at a house or location. The couple also film themselves during their stay, going on runs and shooting in the morning. Kirsten shares stories from many of the productions and the diverse and interesting people she has met along the way. She talks about what motivates and inspires these people to think and live differently. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Kirsten discusses her experience with Verlyn Klinkenborg whose direction inspired her work back then and today.

In this powerful and practical episode of the Equipping ELLs Podcast, host Beth Vaucher welcomes Sarah Knigge, an independent consultant and co-author focused on bilingual literacy, to unpack the essential role native language plays in developing English literacy for Spanish-speaking students. With years of experience as a bilingual teacher and program leader, Sarah shares actionable strategies for educators navigating the complex dynamics of supporting multilingual learners.Beth and Sarah begin by discussing the benefits of leveraging a student's home language in the classroom and how it can foster deeper family engagement, boost student confidence, and reinforce cultural identity. Sarah emphasizes the importance of intentional native language use and explains why simply translating materials isn't always the best support strategy. Instead, she encourages educators to adopt sheltered instruction practices and structured scaffolding techniques that promote true language development.Listeners will learn about the key differences between Spanish and English literacy—such as phoneme systems, syllabic decoding, and metalinguistic awareness—and how recognizing these contrasts helps educators better support literacy transfer. Sarah highlights the role of cognates and contrastive analysis as bridges between the two languages, offering practical examples educators can apply immediately in their classrooms.The conversation also dives into misconceptions about bilingual education, including the unintended consequences of concurrent translation. Sarah candidly shares her early missteps and how those experiences shaped her commitment to effective bilingual instruction and eventually led her to co-author a literacy curriculum designed specifically for emergent Spanish readers.From enhancing vocabulary through oral language strategies like QSSSA to making writing accessible with sentence pattern charts and graphic organizers, this episode is filled with proven tools that help ELLs build confidence and fluency. Beth and Sarah also address the realities of time constraints in classrooms, offering ways teachers can support literacy without overwhelming students with redundant phonics drills.For educators looking to strengthen their instruction and advocacy for bilingual learners, Sarah's insights offer a clear and compassionate roadmap. Whether you're in a dual-language setting, ESL classroom, or simply want to better support your Spanish-speaking students, this episode is a must-listen.Links and Resources:ReadInEspanol.comREAD en espanol, Inc. on Linked InPurchase the Primary Skills Book for Spanish ReadingConnect with Sarah on Linked InConnect with Sarah on InstagramConnect with Sarah on FacebookJoin the Equipping ELLs Membership Shop our TpT Store

Episode 150: Writing, Play, and the Power of Creative Connection with Michelle Ringle & Alyssa Jewell Have you ever felt the quiet nudge to write something down, even if just for yourself? In this heartwarming and deeply thoughtful episode, I sit down with two gifted educators and writers, Michelle Ringle and Alyssa Jewell, to explore the transformative power of creative writing. This conversation was one I truly looked forward to—and it didn't disappoint. Michelle and Alyssa bring so much depth, honesty, and encouragement to the question so many of us carry: What might open up if we let ourselves write? We cover so much ground: how writing can be a form of self-connection and healing, how creative practice doesn't have to look like rigid daily routines, and how society's productivity obsession often blocks our creative energy before we even begin. Whether you've been writing for years or feel creatively stuck, this one's for you. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why writing is for everyone—not just “writers”✨ How creative writing can help us heal grief, rage, and burnout✨ What happens when we write with no agenda (and why that's powerful)✨ Why play is essential for adult women—and how Michelle created a whole Secret Society around it✨ Bridging the gap between language learning and creative expression✨ The real reasons many of us feel creatively blocked—and how to unblock✨ The power of story to reconnect us with ourselves and others Meet the Guests: Writers, Educators, & Creative Facilitators Michelle Ringle is a mother, educator, adventure facilitator, and poet currently pursuing her MFA in Poetry at Western Michigan University. With over two decades of teaching experience, Michelle brings her trauma-informed, feminist lens to creative and educational spaces. She's also the founder of the Secret Society of Ladies Uniquely Trying Stuff—a playful initiative encouraging women, especially mothers, to re-engage with physical play and joy. Alyssa Jewell holds a Ph.D. in Creative Writing and Poetry, and her work explores the connection between creative writing and English as a Second Language (ESL) education. She teaches college-level ESL, English composition, and creative writing in Grand Rapids, MI. Alyssa's poetry has appeared in Cherry Tree, Poetry Daily, Virginia Quarterly Review, and more, and she's passionate about using writing to heal and connect across differences. Writing as a Life-Giving Practice For both Michelle and Alyssa, writing is less about producing something for others—and more about tuning into their own inner worlds. Michelle shares how morning pages and nature walks help her process emotions and stay grounded, while Alyssa opens up about writing her grandfather's eulogy and the healing power of naming truth through story. Writing doesn't need to look like publishing a novel. It can be 10 minutes in the morning. It can be one sentence you write down while walking in the woods. It can be a eulogy, a journal entry, or a line of poetry that cracks you open. “Our bodies often know before we do,” Michelle reflects. “Writing gives those feelings space to live.” From Burnout to Creativity: Permission to Choose What's Life-Giving Michelle shared how pursuing an MFA while raising three children was a radical act of reclaiming joy. After years of teaching others how to write, she realized she wasn't making space for her own creative voice—and that needed to change. Alyssa describes the journey of bridging her two worlds—ESL education and poetry—and why giving ESL students space to tell their stories is not just powerful, but essential. “I think we're meant to create,” Alyssa says. “We heal through it. We grow through it. And sometimes, we even find our people through it.” A favorite quote from this episode: “We are in a culture that values logic—and I believe that's a patriarchal ideal. Emotional knowing is just as important, but it takes practice.
Elise White Diaz is well-versed in the challenges facing diverse students from difficult backgrounds. Prior to her work in public education, Elise's passion for trauma-informed pedagogy began when she moved to Tegucigalpa, Honduras to serve at a school for child laborers in the garbage dump. There she taught bilingual and ESL education at the secondary level, and learned so much from her students who overcame obstacles and went on to college. Upon returning to the United States, Elise brought her experiences to a diverse district in North Texas. She wove together principles from culturally-relevant, trauma-informed education and language acquisition in innovative ways, bringing dramatic gains in standardized test (STAAR) scores. Soon after, she began to mentor and coach teachers in how to recreate these routines. Elise has served in various roles in Emergent Bilingual education, including co-teaching, instructional coaching, writing curriculum, and offering professional development to Texas schools. As a consultant for Seidlitz Education, Elise enjoys supporting teachers in their important work of building language and connection across cultures and obstacles. She holds a Master's degree from Fuller Seminary in Intercultural Studies and lives in the Dallas area with her husband and two children. She is a member of the National Association for Bilingual Education and Women-for-Orphans-Worldwide, and returns to Central America wherever she can.
