Welcome back! The 2012 TeachingEnglish blogathon is now well and truly under way and the site now has more blogs than ever before. Our users are blogging on a whole range of topics connected to teaching and learning English so why not have a look and leave your own ideas?
Also this week we have a classic from the TeachingEnglish archive: The Inca: a lost society. The lesson can be used with adults and teenagers and makes use of original articles from the BBC.
Also this week there is the opportunity to contribute to a worldwide survey that is looking at learners' use of their own language in the EFL classroom. The project is being run by researchers at Northumbria University and the Open University and they are keen to hear from you.
Best wishes

The project, funded by the British Council, aims to look at what teachers think about the use of learners' own language in the ELT classroom and how this influences classroom practice.

| Under constructivist theory, learners should reflect on what they are learning in order to integrate new knowledge with the existing knowledge and in the result, achieve Synthesis. We have to encourage our students to reflect on the learning process that they will be aware of what they are learning and how they are learning.
