| | | | Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week we are pleased to announce the release of a new Facebook app: what kind of teacher are you? It's a fun quiz based on the theory of multiple intelligences. This week's edition also includes an article from Melvin Burgess, author of Junk and Doing it, on the topic of teen angst. On a similar theme is a blog entry about the problems of motivating teenage learners, feel free to contribute your own ideas on the issue. For those of you with access to computers in class there is a sheet of learning tips which provides you with a raft of ideas on how to exploit the materials on our sister site LearnEnglish Kids. There's also another lesson plan in our series of articles looking at UK languages and culture. Finally, one of our readers is looking to re-open the debate about native vs. non-native teachers. He poses the question; are teaching certificates suitable for native speakers only? What is your experience? Why not let him know what you think? Best wishes, Duncan TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC   | | |

| | |  | Partly because I was always being asked whether my books Junk and Doing it were autobiographical, I started to write a memoir some years ago on my own teenage years, 14 - 19. I was expecting it to be a fairly unpleasant task. Teenagers, as everyone knows, are nasty pieces of work - arrogant, spotty, ill tempered, unpredictable and generally unlikeable.

| | |  | Are you a secondary or private language school teacher faced with po-faced, sullen teenagers who'd rather be chatting in the L1 or sleeping or watching telly? Do you find the coursebook you use hardly motivates them? Is it a challenge for you to get them to speak in English and make them see the benefit of it in the long term? Then this blog is for you!

| |
| | This issue has been discussed on this forum elsewhere, but the conversations have waned and non-native speakers seem to have accepted their doom. I decided to raise it again because the situation for non-native speakers is getting worse worldwide.
