Just finished... THIS! Hopefully it was worth every moment of spare time for many weeks! An adapted version of Poe's classic, for close reading. Totally #ELL accessible. Intermediate + above. Newcomer version coming soon! https://t.co/MyQleSX5XP. Gruesome, but I hope you like it!

@verge Of all the things to worry about right now.... that's not on the list!

@PhilipPullman @acgrayling Apparently Cicero was asking this very question about the rise of Caesar 2,000 years ago. (Thanks @Robert___Harris for the trilogy!) Sadly, we're STILL searching for the answer...

@Monica_Wilcox That totally looks like a magic library TARDIS. Beware!

Excited to plan a new #ESL beginner story: "The Dust Storm"! The unit combines weather #vocab, #grammar and active reading strategies... I'll be sharing it next week. #enl #tesol #tefl #teachingenglish https://t.co/ZD1vL5DIAR #ells #vocab #grammar photo: https://t.co/cKbO0FkL8F

Today, our jailed Reuters colleague Wa Lone finally got the chance to meet his daughter. Her name is Thet Htar Angel and she was born 11 weeks ago. He held her during her visit to the prison. It’s not clear when he will see her again. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo
