| Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week we have an article from the archives on learning styles and teaching, some suggestions about how to get your students writing poems and a useful article on how to establish the ground rules in your classes.
As always there are contributions from our readers including a question about how your own language learning influences your teaching and a question from Valeria in Argentina who wants to know how you evaluate speaking skills.
Best wishes, Duncan TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC   |
