Welcome to another TeachingEnglish newsletter! This week we have exciting news about a whole new area of the site; ' Networks'. This new section is where you'll find resources and ideas for your teacher association or other professional development group. There's also a new article about how to run a successful conference. We have the second article from Adrian Underhill who looks at activities that you can use with the chart from Sound Foundations. There's a new lesson plan about life of on other planets for lower level teenage students and there's also information about a new listening activity that you can use with the LearnEnglish podcasts. Best wishes, Duncan TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC   |
