TeachingEnglish newsletter 24 May 2017

TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
24 May 2017

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter
This week we are pleased to announce our blog topics for May and June - 'multilingual approaches', 'integrating ICT' and 'assessing learning' - and we look forward to reading your contributions.

Our featured talk from IATEFL 2017 this week is 'Integrating plurilingual practices in ELT in a superdiverse world' by Angelica Galante.

For the classroom we have a new lesson for adults and teens, 'Smoking stinks', and a fun lesson for kids based on the story 'Monster shopping trip'. We also have an interesting article about using music to raise students' awareness of their own creative powers in English.

And finally, if you are interested in the professional practice of 'Managing resources', take a look at our resources to help you develop in this area.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

In this lesson, learners will be introduced to the popular story 'Monster shopping trip'. They will watch the story, complete comprehension activities, and review and re-enact the story. Finally, learners can do some extension work based on the story, creating role plays and writing about their ideal birthday party.


Teaching teens

Music can be used in so many different ways in language teaching. This article looks at some ways of making the most of music to raise students' awareness of their own creative powers in English. The activities described here, which include visualisation and collaborative story-making, can be easily adapted to different level groups and types of courses. 

Teaching adults

'Smoking stinks' is a lesson plan for teenagers and adults at A2 level and above, and raises awareness of the World Health Organisation's 'No Tobacco Day'. Focusing on speaking, vocabulary and writing, this lesson aims to raise awareness of the many reasons not to smoke tobacco.



Development

Managing resources involves selecting, developing and adapting materials and resources for the classroom. It also involves using them effectively and evaluating their effectiveness. If you would like to know more about this professional practice, take a look at an overview of the elements included in 'Managing resources' and access resources to help you with your development.



Events

With globalisation and immigration, ELT approaches that recognise and value diversity are needed. Plurilingualism is one approach that offers several benefits to English learners, but practice is still a challenge. In this talk, Angelica Galante presents and discusses plurilingual tasks and projects that can be implemented in your own context. 


Magazine

Our blog topics for May and June 2017 look at the themes 'multilingual approaches', 'integrating ICT' and 'assessing learning'. Do you have a multilingual classroom? What benefits does using technology in lessons bring and what are some of the challenges involved in integrating it in your lessons? What are some effective strategies for teaching and assessing speaking skills? These are just a few of the questions we pose to get you started. Happy blogging!
