Mother Tongue (for all you language lovers out there) - 0 views

  •  
    For those of you who are in English because of your love of language, Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue is a fascinating and entertaining book all about our wonderfully weird language: English. I have read a lot of Bryson's stuff and he's one of my favorite writers. But this particular book can be helpful for English teachers, as it better acquaint them to the language they will be teaching.

The The Impotence of Proofreading - 1 views

  •  
    Although this is sometimes a little inappropriate (as always with Taylor Mali) it hits on a very important topic that we will look at as English Teachers - Proofreading. Pretty much all of Taylor Mali's poems has relevancy and maybe you've seen this or others, but I definitely think it's worth checking out again!
  •  
    Taylor Mali is funny and edgy as always but he targets a very important topic for English teachers: proofreading.
