What members are saying...

"Supovitz & Turner (2000) highlighted the importance of intensive and sustained professional development (PD), finding that 'the big change in teaching practice came after 80 hours of professional development' (p. 976). As a full-time teacher, Eric's memos and resources are a big part of my second language PD throughout the year." - Magister P, Lead Latin Teacher & Equitable Grading Coordinator

"Whenever I have a question about language acquisition research, or best practice for teachers, I go to the memo and look things up (or even ask Eric directly). Eric does so much of his own research and condenses it into a very teacher friendly article that is accessible and useful. For conscientious teachers that are looking to teach in ways that are backed up by research, I highly recommend the Acquisition Classroom." 
- Kyle Carr, Middle School Spanish

"I print out the memo, scribble my notes all over it, and even meet up with other language teachers to share our scribbled-on memos! It is a great resource for teachers who are interested in understanding and advocating for Comprehension-Based Communicative Language Teaching with relevant research."
​- Elicia Cárdenas, Director of Training for the Comprehensible Classroom and Founder of the Deskless Classroom
