| Welcome to this week's TeachingEnglish newsletter! We have a new article encouraging you to think about using picture books - not just for young learners. As part of the Turkey ELT Blogathon, there is a guest posting from Lindsay Clanfield about learner autonomy, and there's also a final blog post from Michael Swan.
As always there's something for you to take into your classroom in the form of a complete lesson plan on the topic of film festivals. We have news too of an exciting new teacher training scheme intended to encourage unemployed graduates in the UK to take up teaching English abroad.
Enjoy,
Duncan

 | Like many other full-time writers, I have to engage in regular physical activity to stop from becoming too sedentary. Some people I know go to a gym, others take the dog for long walks. I go to swimming classes. I can swim. My mother dragged me kicking and screaming when I was five years old to swimming classes and the teacher was of the school that believed the best way for a child to overcome his/her fear of the water was being tossed into the deep end.
