Welcome to the last 2014 edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter!

This week we have three brand new classroom posters together with Teacher's notes for you to use with your learners in addition to a great seasonal homework challenge to keep your learners busy.

We also have our featured blog of the month for November - Tim Robbio Ware's Mr. Bean video lesson, and news of all six shortlisted posts for you to look at.

If you're looking for advice on the best apps for teachers and learners and how to use them, then check out our latest podcast with Tracy Dumais, Mobile Learning Consultant with the British Council app team.

And finally, why not start 2015 with a British Council training course? There are four practical courses on offer, but you need to register soon!

The TE news will be taking a break over the festive period but we will be back with more great resources in 2015.

Best wishes
