Creating a Thinking Environment for English Language Learners

Creating a Thinking Environment for English Language Learners | eflclassroom | Scoop.it
The research project I conducted looked into how students responded to a Time to Think Coach coaching-based teaching model. One key outcome was that operating with a coaching mindset in the EFL classroom benefits the teacher as much as the students.

Why Millions of Teens Can't Finish Their Homework - The Atlantic

Why Millions of Teens Can't Finish Their Homework - The Atlantic | eflclassroom | Scoop.it
In decades past, students needed little more than paper, pencils, and time to get their schoolwork done. For the vast majority of students, that's no longer the case. Most schoolwork these days necessitates a computer and an internet connection, and that includes work to be done at home. One federal survey found that 70 percent of American teachers  assign homework that needs to be done online; 90 percent of high schoolers say they have to do internet-based homework at least a few times a month. Nearly half of all students say they get such assignments daily or almost daily.
