TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
27 January 2016

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
For those of you working with Young Learners, we have a NEW publication 'Early Childhood Education in English for Speakers of Other Languages' and a NEW article on the topic of writing.

For adults, we have an interesting warmer activity, and to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, we bring you five new animated videos of his plays specifically developed for teenagers.

For those who missed our highly informative January webinar 'How to get students writing in class... and loving it', you can now watch a recording.

And, finally, if you need help with planning and preparing lessons, teaching methodology or using technology in the classroom, check out our free illustrated booklet, 'Action plan for teachers'.

We hope you find these resources useful.
