Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
Welcome to the final newsletter of 2016. The TeachingEnglish newsletter will be taking a break over the festive period but we will be back with more great resources in 2017.

This week we invite you to submit suggestions for the 2017 ELTons lifetime achievement award. For the first time, we are encouraging you, members of the ELT community, to nominate your choice.

For those of you with a few more adult or teen lessons to go before the holidays, take a look at our quick revision games. And in preparation for the new year, check out our Calendar Based activities for kids, and New Year themed lesson for teens.

We also bring you two new publications this week: 'Ensuring quality in English language teacher education' and 'Social attitudes towards the English language in Bihar'.

We hope you find these resources useful.

For the start of the new year, why not try our Calendar Based Activities, a lesson is based around the calendar and helping students to use dates. It is suitable for language assistants as well as teachers, and revises numbers, dates, days, and months. Kids can also talk about their birthdays.

Teaching teens

In this lesson, students discuss how they celebrate New Year, and read about some typical celebrations in the UK, as well as looking at New Year's resolutions and reflecting on what makes a year good or bad. 



Teaching adults

As you come to the end of the year, you may be thinking about what to do in your final lessons. Here are two fun, quick revision games to help you end on a high note - Name 5 things and Categories. 

Development

'Ensuring quality in English language teacher education' is a compilation of a selection of presentations made at the fifth international Teacher Educator Conference held in Hyderabad, India from 27 February to 1 March 2015. The conference sought to explore many of the threads that individually and collectively contribute towards teachers receiving a quality teacher education at the beginning of and during their teaching careers.

Who should win the 2017 ELTons lifetime achievement award? For the first time, we are encouraging members of the ELT community to submit suggestions for the 2017 ELTons lifetime achievement award. This award is given to ELT professionals who have made a substantial contribution to the ELT profession
throughout their career. The panel is made up of ten experienced ELT professionals who will meet at the end of January to discuss prospective candidates. The winner is announced at the award ceremony in June.
