| Welcome to another TeachingEnglish newsletter. In this edition we would like to introduce the new Guest Teacher on the site; Nigussie Negash. Nigussie comes from Ethiopia and will be blogging about his teaching experiences over the coming month. Also in this month's newsletter we have: a new article on the topic of giving feedback; a new interview activity; and 10 practical tasks you can try to improve your use of web 2.0 technologies. You can also get involved in the delicate debate about whether women learn languages better than men.
Have a good teaching week,

 | Inevitably, teachers feel that the whole class needs and deserves to know the correct answer or response to a question, and students expect to be told whether their answers are right or wrong, but there are alternatives to traditional whole-class feedback conducted by the teacher or teacher-nominee in a lockstep pattern.

 | | An Interview with Sir Peter | | |  | |
 | This activity is based on the real story of Merhan Karimi Nasseri, who found himself unable to leave Charles de Gaulle airport in France, but became a popular subject for TV and newspaper interviews. It is a pair-work speaking, listening, reading and writing exercise for students who are at a good intermediate level or above.

| | New Guest Teacher: Nigussie Negash | | | | |
 | English was one of my favourite subjects in the primary and secondary school. My English language teacher had a lot of influence on me. I liked the way he dressed, the way he talked and walked. Without him knowing, I would sometimes walk behind him to listen to the English words he spoke.

| 10 Tasks for training teachers to use web 2.0 tools
| | | | |
| ICT expert Nik Peachey shares some tasks he has developed, so that any teacher who wants to try to develop their own ICT skills can use the tasks autonomously or if anyone is involved in teacher training for ICT, then they can use the tasks with their trainees, build on and develop them. |

| Are women better than men at learning languages?
| | | | |
| Most students do not agree with my statement that women are better than men at learning languages. They say that language is not specific to any one gender and language proficiency of a person depends on their interest and exposure to a particular language. Yet, some students believe that women are good at languages.
