| | | | Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
This week we have our monthly lesson plan for October, which uses content from the LearnEnglish Teens website and looks at building and retaining vocabulary.
To complement the lesson plan, have a look at our latest 'Teacher talk' video and listen to some of our TeachingEnglish associates discussing their ideas for building and retaining vocabulary.
We also revisit an article by Keith Kelly writing about CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), in which he talks about the successful ingredients of a CLIL lesson.
We have our featured blog of the month, which features a great new post by Kieran Donaghy.
Finally, have you used our Word Family Framework? It is a searchable resource for teachers and learners of English that consists of over 22,000 vocabulary items arranged according to six levels aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference.
We hope you find these useful. Best wishes Paul TeachingEnglish Team | British Council | BBC | | |
| | |  | Our monthly lesson plan for October uses a text on 'snacks' from LearnEnglish Teens. Breaking the text into smaller 'chunks', this lesson is designed to help students develop their reading skills and also help them to develop strategies for learning, recording and retaining vocabulary more effectively. Designed for teenagers or young adults, this lesson is perfect for lower levels all the way up to high intermediate students. Go to the lesson plan | | |
| | | | Teacher talk - Building and retaining vocabulary | |
|  |
| |  | Teacher talk is a series of videos featuring some of our TeachingEnglish Associates speaking about important teaching issues. In this video, the theme is 'Building and retaining vocabulary'. Adam Simpson, Sylvia Guinan, Lizzie Pinard, Rachael Roberts and George Chilton give practical ideas on the ways we can help our learners build their range of vocabulary and more importantly find ways to retain it. Throughout this video, they provide a number of useful activities that can be used to help students in this area. Watch the video |
| | |  | In this article, Keith Kelly looks at four key factors that are important in the successful implementation of CLIL. He writes at length about issues surrounding management, the teacher, resources and the learner. If you are teaching another subject at school in English to non-native speakers, this article is a must-read. | | |
| | | | | Each month on TeachingEnglish, we scan the blogosphere looking for useful, insightful and practical blogs for teachers. As well as announcing this month's winner - a great post by Kieran Donaghy, which is a lesson plan about why learners study English - we also provide a selection of the shortlisted blogs. Why not have a look and get some ideas for your classroom.

| | Word Family Framework (WFF) | |
| |
| | | | For those of you who are unaware of this fantastic tool, the Word Family Framework shows how words within the same family are placed at different levels and is aimed at teachers who can use it to plan courses, syllabi and lessons. The WFF is the product of an ELT research award and was designed by Richard West. | | |
