Unit 2 - Activity 1 (continued) - Acronyms!

Reflection: So many acronyms!

With all these acronyms the "Fundamentals for Teaching ESL" course is starting to feel like the learning another language in itself!

Within the first few reading assignments the following are a sample of what has appeared: 

ESL, L1, L2, ELF, TESOL, EFL, NEST, NNEST, LSP, BICS, CALP, IEP, ESP, EAP 

(I'm sure I've missed a few).

2. commonly used
3. others related to TESL
