HELP WANTED - THE PUSH: English as a Second Language (ESL) education blogs

Yesterday was a better day for THE PUSH. We identified 8 excellent preschool / early childhood education blogs. We’re doing okay in most other areas but could use some help with these:

• agricultural education (only have 3),
• family / consumer sciences education blogs (only have 2),
• drama / theater education blogs (only have 1),
• vocational / applied / industrial technology education blogs (only have 2), and
• physical / health education blogs (only have 6).

Today we focus on ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) EDUCATION. What are some excellent ESL education blogs that P-12 ESL educators should be reading? We need both elementary and secondary examples. If you know of some, please add them to the Moving Forward wiki.

Why are we doing this?

• To identify blogs that P-12 teachers can use to initially seed (or expand) their RSS readers
• To create a single location where P-12 educators can go to see excellent subject-oriented educational blogging
• To highlight excellent disciplinary blogging that deserves larger audiences
• To learn from disciplines other than our own and get ideas about our own teaching and/or blogging

Thanks in advance for helping with this initiative. If we all contribute, two weeks from now we should have a bevy of excellent subject-specific blogs to which we can all point. Please spread the word about THE PUSH!

Hello Scott
You will find lots of ESL blogs on the Edublogger Directory as well as other subject areas. Maybe a useful link for your wiki.

The best I've found is Larry Ferlazzo's http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/ . He has an outstanding blog for all topics but his emphasis is ESL/ELL.
