@jennysperling Thanks Jenny! Let's talk soon. Also would love to hear more about the ELPS course.

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

Next semester I am teaching a new grad course titled Linguistically Sustaining Pedagogies. If you have any recommendations for articles or books, please share! Also looking for people and spaces that are actively sustaining students' unique language practices. Thank you!

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

@Whitney_405 @OFLTA Well deserved for an incredible language teacher!

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

@SandraNoDuerme @Momademia It was overwhelming and I'm still making sense of it. I was on the TT search and writing dissertation in spring 2020 with a 1yo. 7pm-midnight is when I wrote and applied for positions. Having a supportive partner was essential. Wishing you support, care, and strength!

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

New practice article in RELC—how can we target that tricky #actfl Communities standard? The paper documents a collaborative German field trip we designed when I was teaching high school in Arkansas. Please message and I can share a preprint copy. https://t.co/AxQhBEmx7i

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

If you don't have access to the journal, I'm happy to message/email you a pre-print copy!

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

Sharing out our new mixed methods article in Foreign Language Annals. It was so great to work with two wonderful scholars and co-authors, Drs. Bo Liu and Josephine Kim, on this research. ACTFL members get free access to the journal. https://t.co/Hewu91q41y

@rclvelasco Thanks Richard!

[William S. Davis @wsdavisedu]

@ProfeAustin @razz_dent @ClaraBauler Yes, thoughts about school working conditions and treatment of teachers were in students' responses, but less so than we expected. I will try to message you a copy, @razz_dent
