18 May 2016

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!


This week we have our May webinar - Exploring Continuing Professional Development - Thursday 19 May.

For the classroom we have games for question practice for kids, a jigsaw-viewing activity for teens and a fluency activity for adults - Get to know the neighbours.

If you are a primary teacher, check out our Primary success stories for tips on a range of classroom issues.

And finally, our four new blog topics for May and June look at the theme of Managing resources. Send us your ideas about how you select the resources you
use.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

An essential skill in communicating and keeping up a conversation is the ability to ask questions. These activities 'Games for question practice' get students to make some questions themselves and can be used with a whole range of levels.



Teaching teens

Megabridges is a jigsaw-viewing activity based on two video clips from National Geographic's Mega-structures series. Two groups of students watch two
different video clips and then exchange information. 





Teaching adults

Get to know the neighbours is a lesson designed to develop fluency skills. Students are led through a series of activities to create profiles for imaginary characters who live in the same neighbourhood. The lesson then brings these characters together at a neighbourhood party, where students can practice asking and answering simple questions about work, family, hobbies and so on.


Development

Check out our teacher development resources for success in the primary classroom. Topics range from getting students interested in learning English to involving the whole group in the lesson. Watch the videos and reflect on the questions.



Events

Don't miss our May webinar, Exploring Continuing Professional Development, which explores how the British Council's CPD framework can influence successful continuing professional development, on Thursday, 19 May at 11.00 UK time. A recording will be available to view after the event.


Magazine

Our four new topics for May and June look at the theme of Managing resources. Choosing engaging resources that go beyond the coursebook (if you use one), that meet the students' needs and help them to personalise their learning experience is sometimes a difficult process. We'd love to read your ideas about how you select the resources you use.
