Welcome to today's episode of the My Adventures in ESL Podcast! We're tackling some of the most common misconceptions about working with newcomer students and sharing practical strategies to help educators support their success. Episode Highlights: 1. Myth: Students Must Acquire Oral Language Before Literacy Misconception: "Students need to speak English fluently before engaging in literacy activities." Truth: Literacy-rich classrooms are key to helping students develop the academic language they need. Strategies: Teach text structures to help students understand academic language. Use scaffolding techniques, like breaking tasks into smaller steps or using visual aids. Create opportunities for students to actively participate in academic activities. 2. Myth: You Don't Need Special Training to Work with Language Learners Misconception: "Anyone with patience and kindness can effectively teach ESL students." Truth: Teaching English as a second language requires specialized skills and knowledge. Strategies: Pursue professional development opportunities like TESOL certifications or ESL workshops. Learn from experienced ESL educators through mentorship. Use targeted resources designed for language learners. Key Takeaways: Newcomer students benefit from literacy engagement and scaffolded academic opportunities, regardless of their oral language proficiency. Proper training equips educators with the tools to address the unique needs of language learners and avoid common teaching pitfalls.

For the first time, the creators of the SAMR, TPACK, and the Triple E technology integration frameworks met to discuss their widely adopted models and how they fit in the age of generative AI. They are joined by the creators of two emerging frameworks, SETI and GenAI-U. In this series, we explore all five models, their differences, and where each best fits. Part one unpacks what these frameworks enable educators and school leaders to do. Together, the panel reveals why small and big thinking is required to teach effectively with Gen AI.
