Teaching kids

TrashedWorld is a global schools' platform for curriculum exchange work on the topic of waste with the dual aims of developing awareness of waste issues and developing skills and knowledge in the English language. And, in order to grow their network for the new school year 2016-2017, TrashedWorld are offering free subscriptions.


Teaching teens

'The months of the year' is our latest lesson plan for teenagers and adults at A2 level. All over the world we have unique names for the months of the year, often with historical or cultural references. This activity encourages students to think about these historic and cultural references at the same time as they do the activity. Students will play a quiz-based card game in groups, discuss three facts about each month and guess which fact is false. 

Teaching adults

Feedback and Error Correction - Is It Your Job? What is the most effective way to correct errors? How to develop self-editing skills in your students? This article is about making your feedback an effective learning tool, and contains practical tips and examples to get you started. 




Development

Teaching for Success: Lessons and Teaching is a free, online course for English language teachers around the world. The course is part of our Teaching for Success: Practices for English Language Teaching program. In the program we will look at the 12 professional practices for CPD on the British Council's teacher development framework. In this course you will look at four professional practices: Planning lessons and courses, Managing resources, Managing the lesson and Taking responsibility for professional development.
