Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! 
 
This week we have a recorded workshop from Ben Goldstein about the history of using video in class. We also have an article written by Ben to accompany the workshop. 
 
Our latest seminar is by Rupert Lezemore and focuses on a diagrammatic approach to grammar teaching for visually oriented learners.
 
Our monthly blog topics are now available for February, so if you want to start writing a blog on the TeachingEnglish site, have a look at the topics and contact us.
 
Nearly all teachers have to go through an observation process. Why not look at ways to reduce the stress with our helpful article on peer observations.

Finally, for the classroom, why not use one of the lessons from our 'Using images' section.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Best wishes

Latest seminar: a diagrammatic approach to grammar
  TeachingEnglishTry                                      

Rupert Lezemore encourages us to reflect on strategies for teaching grammar to visual learners. In his talk, he looks at examples and creates others, as well as discussing ideas of how to turn explanations for the spoken or written word into diagrams and visuals. These can then be taken back to the classroom, experimented with, expanded and used as another teaching tool.

February blog topics
                                     
Each month a new set of topics and questions is available on our new blog section. We had several fantastic blog posts in January from our bloggers and associates. 
For February we have four new topics, each dealing with a different aspect of English language teaching. Why not have a look at the new topics and contact us if you want to write a blog post. Alternatively, you can read some of the posts that our users have already written for this month.

Peer observation

                                
Observations can be very stressful, even when you are an experienced teacher. However, observations can happen in many different ways and peer observation can be just one way to reduce the pressure and benefit from the advice of your colleagues. Read about the steps you need to take to set up a peer observation in this article by Graham White.
