TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
13 July 2016

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
This week we invite you to a webinar on mobile pedagogy for English language teaching by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme and Lucy Norris. We also include the related research publication 'Mobile pedagogy for English language teaching: a guide for teachers', which is free to download.

For the classroom we have a reading task and roleplay plus an article on helping students to prepare and deliver presentations, both of which could be used with teenagers or adults. For kids, we have a passport portfolio lesson to raise children's awareness of learning and practising English in their own world.

And finally, our popular Primary Essentials course is now open for enrolment. The course starts on 18 August and is an ideal introduction to teaching English to young learners.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

Working with passports is a portfolio activity which opens their eyes to the possibilities for learning and practising English in their own world. It also means becoming aware of children in their own class who have had different language-learning experiences. This lesson comes with downloadable passports and worksheets for the children to fill in.


Teaching teens

In this article Tom Hayton gives a few tips and some advice on what he's learned from helping students prepare and deliver presentations. The article addresses why presentations are useful, how to plan effectively, classroom management and a practical approach to assessment.


Teaching adults

This activity challenges students' reading skills at intermediate level and gives them controlled speaking practice in a role play. The learners have to put a jumbled conversation into the correct order and can then act it out in pairs. The conversation takes place in a Travel Agent's.



Development

Primary Essentials provides teachers with an introduction to teaching English to young learners aged 7 to 11. Using video, audio and community elements, you will learn the essentials to help you succeed in your teaching of young learners. Start date: 18 August - apply by 08 August. Duration: 12 weeks.


Events

Join this month's webinar on EnglishAgenda - Mobile pedagogy for English language teaching: putting teacher wisdom at the heart of mobile learning - when Agnes Kukulska-Hulme and Lucy Norris will describe an approach to mobile pedagogy for English language teaching. The webinar, which takes place on Tuesday 19 June at 16.00 UK time, explores the ways in which teachers can be guided by this framework to design language learning tasks to engage learners both in, and beyond the classroom. 


Magazine

Mobile pedagogy for English language teaching: a guide for teachers is a new publication by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme, Lucy Norris and Jim Donohue. The guide proposes a frame of reference to aid teacher-thinking when designing mobile language learning in and beyond the classroom, informed by research conducted with teachers and learners in ESOL and EAP contexts.
