Welcome to the new TeachingEnglish newsletter. As a new academic year approaches in the northern hemisphere we have extra activities for you to try in your classrooms. We have a new activity in our OPENcities project called 'Put yourself in the picture', information about a new website for you to experiment with and some tips on how to present your work in the classroom.

You can also contribute by helping a fellow teacher with recommendations for online activities to try with business classes and you can take part in our latest poll on grammar teaching methodology.

If you haven't visited our Facebook page yet, why not take a look and join the debate.

Best wishes,

Duncan
