TeachingEnglish newsletter 11 January 2017

TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
11 January 2017

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!
Welcome to the first 2017 edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter.

We start the New Year with a number of professional developmental resources. Take a look at our online training opportunities, and register for our upcoming webinar 'Which training? What kind of development?' which will help you select the training or professional development path most relevant to you.

This week we also announce our blog topics for January and February, and invite you to become a TeachingEnglish registered blogger yourself.

For the classroom we have a fun activity for kids to develop listening practice and pronunciation awareness; a selection of games and activities to practise personality adjectives for all ages; and an activity for A2 adults to practise listening and speaking skills.

And finally, don't forget to register for the free TESOL Electronic Village Online (EVO) course
, for those teaching in difficult circumstances in developing country contexts.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

Try this little game 'Broken telephone' to help your young students with their listening practice and develop pronunciation awareness. Using sentences with words that may sound similar to others, like working (walking), learners have fun while realising the value of proper pronunciation.

Teaching teens

Our featured blog of the month for November 2016 goes to Cristina Cabal and her post 10 Games and Activities to Practise Personality Adjectives. Cristina's post features some great ideas for practising personality adjectives. There are listening, writing and speaking activities for all ages and levels. Why not try some of these activities with your teenage learners?

Teaching adults

'Break up' is an activity suitable for A2 students and provides short listening practice based around a telephone message from a woman to her friend. The message relays information about the break-up of a relationship. Students will predict vocabulary, listen to the conversation and role-play the dialogue to
practise their speaking skills.

Development

Start the new year by taking an online training course with the British Council and you'll be training with the world's English experts. Assess your skills online with our exclusive self-assessment tool and choose from over 60 self-study modules or full tutored courses to develop your knowledge and skills to take your teaching to the next level. Explore our unrivalled range of courses and support to meet your exact learning needs.
Events

With so many online development opportunities, it can be difficult to know where to start. Our webinar 'Which training? What kind of development?' with
Zoe Tysoe on 12 January will look at how to reflect on your current teaching and carefully select relevant professional development for you. You'll be introduced to the British Council's self-assessment tool, and you'll take away links to free and paid-for training modules and other useful resources.

Magazine

Why not start the new year by becoming a TeachingEnglish registered blogger? We start 2017 with four new blog topics around the broad theme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Our new topics include a focus on action research, mentoring, looking back at challenges from the last 12 months and teaching in difficult circumstances.
