- Excellent article



[|Culture in Second Language Teaching] - Very simple and to the point, but kind of leaves anyone who has spent much time around world languages going “Well, duh!”

[|Best Authentic Resources for World Language Teachers] - Very practical list. Lacks theoretical depth and a lot of these are self-evident to me, but may be useful to you as new teachers.
