TeachingEnglish newsletter 17 February 2016

TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
17 February 2016

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
This week we have news of another webinar in the series showcasing ideas from the 2015 ELTons winning innovations - Little Bridge: The Playful Way to Learn English!

We also feature a NEW publication of training materials to develop cooperation and understanding between local English teachers (LETs) and native English speaker teachers (NESTs).

For the classroom, we have a lesson for kids which focuses on playground vocabulary, a discussion activity for teens on the topic of fashion, and a very practical series of articles on teaching reading by Dave Willis.

And finally, if you are a teacher educator, take a look at the freely downloadable British Council's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Framework for teacher educators.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

'Free time with primary students' is a lesson plan for A2 level students about playground vocabulary. Students will listen to a story; play an online game and practise speaking and writing.



Teaching teens

'Fashion statements' is a staged discussion activity which focuses on students' personal opinions of style and fashion. The activity revolves around students discussing to what extent they agree or disagree with a number of statements.



Teaching adults

'Reading for information: Motivating learners to read efficiently' is the first in a series of four articles by Dave Willis which propose a four stage methodology for teaching reading. Find out more about what constitutes efficient reading, and the first two stages - priming and reading.

Development

The British Council's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Framework for teacher educators is a guide to the professional development of all those involved in the education and training of teachers. The booklet shows you: four stages of development, seven enabling skills, ten professional practices and five self-awareness features.
