| | | | | Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! This week we have an engaging lecture on the English of Shakespeare and an interview with Tessa Woodward about the Fair List.
For the classroom we have a primary lesson plan on the theme of Environment and an interesting advertisement storyboard task for older learners.
We also announce the winners of the British Council Master Dissertation Award, and a new volume of English Language Teacher Education and Development (ELTED). We hope you find these useful. Best wishes Deb TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC | | |

Actor and author Ben Crystal explores the accent, the theatrical conventions, and the world of Shakespeare, to reveal a bright and beautiful English. Watch video

They will watch a story about different environmental issues and sing a song about ways of helping the environment. They will practise using 'should' and 'shouldn't' to talk about helping the environment, and think about what they do or can do, by playing a game and conducting a class survey. Finally, they will talk about recycling and either make a poster or write a poem, and do a recycling craft activity. Read more
