Ask more. Know more. Share more. Speak more. Create Compelling Classroom Conversations. That's the core educational philosophy behind this blog by an experienced English as a Second Language teacher working in Los Angeles. The evolving blog shares educational resources, sparks conversations between ESL teachers and English language learners, and discusses effective teaching techniques. Although "well-begun is half done," the blog will continue to develop and deepen over time.
