Apologies for resending this week's newsletter, but we would like to draw your attention to the live-streaming of a seminar - Is there really such a thing as 'global English'? - with David Crystal on Tuesday 12 February. More information can be found here This week we have a brand new BritLit pack for you and an e-publication to help you with using literature in the classroom.
We also have a brand new series of free webinars on aspects of continuous professional development - check out the one this month!
If you're looking for classroom ideas, then we have 'Cycling' and the environment and a speaking activity to practise describing people. And finally, an article on how to overcome the constraints of the course book.
Enjoy!

|  | The High Master and Little Billy Clough is a humorous short story written by John Waddington-Feather (born 1933), a British author who belongs to the West Yorkshire 'school' of writers. Set in North Yorkshire, the story not only tells about a twelve-year old boy placed in a 'select' school to iron out his accent, but also provides a great opportunity to explore the role of accents in British society.

 | This e-book was originally published in print form by the Catalan Teachers of English Association, Associació de Professors d'Anglès de Catalunya (APAC), to help launch the BritLit initiative at the APAC Congress in February 2009. This slightly revised version was produced because it was recognised that teachers worldwide would be interested in the contents. The contents cover the whole range of BritLit activity in that the voices of teachers and authors are heard along with some comments from students, as well as more detailed studies from the project team and academics.
