It provides concrete, practical classroom activities across a range of contexts and student proficiency levels for use in classrooms with multilingual learners of English (MLEs).</p></div> </div> </a>  <div class="meta base-text"> <p class="date"> By TESOL | <time>12 Jun 2023</time> </p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="item item-blog items-1 col-12 item_text-below text-left"> <div class="inner "> <a href="/resource-center/biodiversity-and-diversity-in-bio-what-s-the-point/"> <div class="info "> <p class="heading base-heading">Biodiversity and Diversity in Bio: What’s the Point?</p> <div class="text base-text"><p>Is there such a thing as "diversity for diversity's sake" or is diversity a metric worth pursuing?
