For the classroom we have a brand new BritLit kit and a fun speaking activity to practise grammar.

And finally, why not help us shape the future here at TeachingEnglish by suggesting how we should reorganise our site?
 
We hope you find these useful.

Editorial - The future of TeachingEnglish
                                   
At TeachingEnglish, we are always looking for ways to develop and improve the site to make it easier for you to find what you need for your classes or for your professional development. One of our current projects is to look at reorganising the site structure. We have a lot of ideas, but we also want you, the people who use the site, to be involved in this process.
Help us shape the future!

Slog's Dad, a story by the renowned British author David Almond, is our latest BritLit kit. It tells the story of a boy who one spring morning sees across the square the figure of his father, who died not long ago. The kit aims to develop interest in and motivation for reading, based on creative exploration of the literary text.

In this webinar on 06 May at 10am GMT, Ceri Jones explores how a range of micro writing tasks can activate language, encourage communication and aid class cohesion. She will be looking in particular, but not exclusively, at multi-level secondary classrooms and the challenges they bring. 

Bingo mingle

In the event you have students who are stressed out or just plain bored by the dull approach to teaching grammar, there's a game you can play that will lure students into a communication approach to what is being taught. I used this for teaching Present Perfect  tense. It is just like bingo, but involves the students mingling and asking questions.

This seminar focuses on strategies for integrating Equality and Diversity within your English teaching practice, to foster a positive atmosphere conducive to learning. Language acquisition can be hindered if learners are not in an environment which is conducive to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where all feel free to talk about themselves, their identities and personal lives. If you were unable to attend this seminar, a recording is now available to watch online.
