Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter!

For the classroom this week we have a new lesson plan on the theme of World War I, and if you would like to try 'teaching unplugged' we have an article to help get you started.

We also have a presentation on storytelling in the digital age and an exciting seminar this week to celebrate the Dylan Thomas Centenary.

Finally, don't forget the Assessment in ELT: Opportunities and Challenges conference takes place next month, and registration for our Primary Essentials course is now open.

We hope you find these useful.
Best wishes

Chris Rose 'The Storyteller in the Digital Age'
  newsletter-icontrain                                    
Storytelling is one of the oldest human activities. Everyone tells stories: be it the plot of a film you have seen or a book you have read, an eventful journey, a memory of your childhood or merely something that happened to you on the bus coming to work. Chris Rose thinks that storytelling is merely changing. In his plenary talk at the "E-merging Forum 3" he presents different ways to tell the stories.

Seminar - Dylan Thomas Centenary Celebration
                                       
Thursday 23 October 2014, 1800 - 2030, London and live online. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to join Hannah Ellis, granddaughter of the famous Welsh poet and Guy Masterson, an Olivier Award winning actor who recently performed 'Under Milk Wood ' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, for the launch of the British Council's Dylan Thomas teaching materials for the English language teaching classroom. This event is held in partnership with British Council Wales.

Teaching Unplugged - Activities
    teachingenglishthink                                    
If you'd like to have a first go at 'Teaching Unplugged' your aim is simply to get students to produce language and then to use the language they produce as the basis for your lesson. The most important part of 'Teaching Unplugged' for the teacher is not how you generate the emergent language (that is the language that the students produce as they are talking) but what you do with the language. 

Primary Essentials - registration open

                                  
If you want an introduction to teaching English to young learners aged 7 - 11, then this course is for you. Using video, audio and community elements, you will learn the essentials to help you succeed in your teaching. Registration is now open and the course begins 17 November.
