TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
03 May 2017

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter
Important. In last week's newsletter, we stated that completion of the MOOC course would qualify you for a 30% discount on our online MA in ELT. This should have said that you 'might be eligible to apply for a scholarship to cover part of the fees'.

For the classroom this week we feature a two part series of activities for kids - 'My Favourite Day'. 

We also have a lesson plan for teens and adults on the theme of music. And if you need ideas on how to monitor students' speech effectively, take a look at our article 'Monitoring Speaking'.

We are also pleased to announce the winner of our blog of the month award for March, which goes to ELT Connect and their post 'Fun with Phrasal Verbs'.

Our featured blog post this week is 'Embracing Inclusion' by Madhu Tiwari.

And finally, we feature an article by Tim Phillips on the British Council's approach to teacher development in state education systems - Teaching for Success.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

My Favourite Day 1 is the first in a two part series. Here you have a few ideas on how to review days of the week, months of the year and dates while allowing children to personalise the lesson and allowing you to give them some invaluable cultural input. 

My Favourite Day 2 focuses on special days and birthdays in particular.




Teaching teens

'Music is Great' is a lesson plan for teachers of older teenagers and adults at level B1 explores the theme of music. Students will develop their reading, speaking and listening skills. The students' own experiences and opinions form the basis of all discussion and extension work.




Teaching adults

As teachers we all accept that there is a role for correcting student speech in the language classroom. However, this often takes place when students are speaking in open class - when all other students can hear them and they are under enormous performance pressure - or on a personal, one-to-one level, which naturally excludes other students in the class. Find out more about the practicalities of monitoring student speech effectively in this article.

Development

British Council Teaching for Success is the British Council's approach to teacher development in state education systems. Our vision is that: "All teachers in the world have high-quality continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities that improve their own practice and their learners' success". Read more about the Teaching for Success approach and our resources to help you with your professional development.

Events

Our featured blog of the month award for March goes to ELT Connect and their post Fun with Phrasal Verbs. Written by Aoife Mcloughlin, these games from ELT Connect for getting students to practise phrasal verbs are really great - and they will work with most levels and ages. This month's shortlist also features resources for writing a CV, a game for word formation, a foldable word game and ideas for using grammar word searches.

Magazine

Teaching learners with special educational needs doesn't come easy. It calls for prowess along with 'sense sensitive training'. In this post Madhu Tiwari shares her experience of teaching a bright and ambitious visually impaired teenage girl, in the mainstream classroom. Read about the strategies she used to support inclusive learning in her latest blog post 'Embracing Inclusion'.
