Heads up everyone: There's a new podcast by my friends/colleagues Brent Warner and Ixchell Reyes.
According to their official description, "DIESOL stands for Digital Integration in English as a Second or Other Language, and is meant to be a fun and forward-thinking play on our field, most commonly known as TESOL."

There are just three episodes so far and the third one is about all things vocabulary. Those of you who joined us at last year's presentation by Dr. Keith Folse will recognize a few of the myths that Brent and Ixchell present, including a discussion on L1 use in the classroom.
They cover some great tech tools and dictionaries for English language learners and describe a cool idea for a Vocabulary Scavenger Hunt which I instantly added to my online class activities.
If you are in your car, walking your dog, or at the gym, consider tuning in to the podcast!
