Welcome to the latest edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
This week, with lots of students in many parts of the world preparing for their summer holidays, we have a lesson plan which focuses on talking about the future and the use of the different future tenses.
Don't forget English Agenda's seminar later today on Creativity in Teaching and Learning, which you can watch online by registering. On the same theme is this week's featured publication - Creativity in the English Language Classroom, a book focusing on practical activities to nuture creativity, extracts of which you can read on our English Agenda website.
Our featured article this week is about connected speech, and offers an introduction into how and why we should tackle this in the classroom.
And finally, David Petrie's latest blog post takes a look at how we can encourage learner autonomy for exam students - something which may seem challenging at first.
We hope you find these useful.
