Welcome to another TeachingEnglish newsletter. This week's content includes a complete lesson plan on climate change which you can use with either teenagers or adults and there's a new Britlit Kit for those of you who like using literature in the classroom.
In the second in a series of video discussion from IATEFL we asked teachers what it was that had most helped them develop in their career. Watch the video and then leave a comment letting us know what's helped you most.
Also this week there's a question from one of our readers that should interest both those who have it and those who don't: 'How hard is the CELTA really?' If you have taken the course why not leave your impressions. Best wishes

 | There are many ways to plan for an interactive lesson, but I use 4-MAT Plan because it is simple and effective. The 4-MAT plan has four major parts: Motivation, Infromation, Practice and Production (Application). I want to focus on Production section as I am concerned that sometimes teachers lack of ideas and creativity for this part. Read more
