| Welcome to a new TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week's edition is packed with new things for you to try in your classrooms. There's a new video tip that explains and demonstrates how to use warmers in young learner classes, there's a brand new lesson plan that doesn't require any pre-prepared materials and there is an activity to practise past participle forms.
There's a whole new teacher development course on the site in the form of CLIL Essentials, the course can be done online or face-to-face and you can find more information on the TeachingEnglish website. There's also a video interview with our Guest Teacher Jamie Keddie which gives some interesting insights into his views on teaching and finally there's an opportunity for you to help one of our readers by providing ideas to practise the use of the present perfect continuous.
Best wishes, Duncan TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC   |

 | This is a drawing and speaking activity that is fun to use with primary classes to revise the present continuous form. It is easy to set up and requires no preparation or materials, except a board and a board pen. Students will need a piece of paper and a pencil. This version practises the present continuous form but other versions can practise other tenses.

| This activity practises 'have you ever...? to talk about life experiences. It is student led in terms of the content and is satisfying as a result. Elicit and write a list of about 20 irregular verbs (infinitive forms) on the board. Give out bingo cards and ask students to choose any 9 verbs from the board to write the past participle form on their cards.

|
| Hi,Could anyone suggest some topics that could be used to elicit the present perfect continuous? My adult students perfectly understand the difference between the past simple and the present perfect. But... as soon as I introduce the present perfect continuous (and despite my explanations), they look confused and can't use it! Many thanks! Sophie
