| | | | | | | Welcome to the March 12 edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week we have our usual mix of articles, practical activities and discussions for you to get involved in.
You can find an article about using poems to develop your learners' productive skills and an activity that requires no preparation. Also featured are three bibliographies that have been produced by the British Council which can be used as guides to create or refresh your resources. The blogs this week feature a cry for help from a new teacher and some suggestions about how to create the perfect lesson. Don't forget that you can always join the debate on the TeachingEnglish Facebook page.
