Episode Synopsis

Join us for this inaugural episode as we consider how all teachers are teachers of language.  We would like to clarify a point in the episode about the percentage of MLLs in classrooms in the US.  They represent 9 percent of the total population nationwide, not 40% as stated in the podcast.
