Welcome to another TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week we have the usual selection of activities, articles and ready made lesson plans to help you with your teaching.
There is an article on using portfolios in ELT and the opportunity to try using them in your own class with an activity which looks at the biography section of portfolios. As always there's plenty to discuss and you can contribute your own ideas to Dario Banegas' blog and help a student with his poll looking at the use of interactive whiteboards in teaching. Don't forget you can keep up with the latest teaching discussion on our Facebook page which has now moved to a new location.
