Hello!
Are you getting ready to celebrate Halloween, or perhaps the Day of the Dead in your country? We have some ideas for you to use in class below. Of course Diwali is also being celebrated this week.
This week you can also catch Luke Meddings blogging on 'teaching unplugged' - leave your comments or questions for Luke on the site.
As usual there are more practical ideas for you to use in class, including the latest in our series of sport-based lesson plans leading up to the London Olympic and Paralympic games - all about football.
Finally from our Seminars series, filmed in the UK, you can watch a video of Gavin Dudeney speaking about digital literacy.
Best wishes Rob TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC |
