Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
This week we have plenty of classroom resources - a plan to help your students create their own Holiday English Activity Book, a series of lesson plans to celebrate the 800th centenary of the Magna Carta, and as the Women's World Cup is underway in Canada, women's football activities on LearnEnglish Teens.
We also have news of a new publication - English in Latin America: an examination of policy and priorities in seven countries.
Our featured article this week is 'Using the board'. Discover how to organise your board, use it for displaying, playing games and using visuals. And check out Herbert Puchta's presentation on teaching very young learners - What's Hot, and What Not.
And finally, don't forget TracyDumais' webinar on 18 June, 12pm UK time - Children's apps you can trust
We hope you find these useful.
