To celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17, we have a special lesson plan for teachers of teenagers and adults at upper intermediate level to explore the customs and traditions of this national day. The aim of this lesson is to give students practice in reading an article about St. Patrick's Day for specific information and then the opportunity to talk about the customs and traditions of their own country's national day.

What makes a good English teacher? As well as demonstrating enthusiasm, organisational skills and positivity, great teachers are masters of their subject matter. They spend time developing their English. The British Council is developing the British Council English Test specifically for teaching professionals who would like to prove their level of English. Sound interesting? Take five-minute survey to qualify for a free test when it launches (worth 25 USD).

All the sessions were live-streamed to participants from all over the globe, but four were also recorded for those of you who missed the event.
