This is a primary tip that helps you exploit the lesson plan 'Colours - What is pink?', inspired by the famous poem 'What is Pink?' by Christina Rossetti. Aims include using poetry as a means to teach English, using English as a means to appreciate poetry at primary level, providing a model for children to create their own poems in English and expanding general vocabulary.

'Cycling' is a lesson suitable for all students aged 10 and over. Students practise listening skills with a simple drawing dictation to introduce the topic. They then do a cycling survey of their classmates and have a discussion. There is also a role play task set in a bike shop, where students have to sell/buy a bike, and finally there is a group task where students design a poster for a 'Get on your Bike' campaign.

This lesson, 'Robot relationships', takes the Collecting Europe project as a starting point for an exploration of whether a romantic relationship between a human and a robot is possible. Students will discuss this and related questions as they work with the trailer for the film Her and a reading text on the subject. After a focus on useful language from the reading text, students are invited to debate the topic in more depth.

Just over a year ago, James Taylor started a new job - teaching groups of teenagers for the first time. Up to this point, he had only taught adults, with a few teens in among the older students, but now he would have groups of exclusively teens. Needless to say, it was an intense and rewarding opportunity. Join us for this free webinar on 20 June at 13.00 UK time to find out what James has learned about English teaching through this new experience in his career.

Using technology in the 21st-century classroom is, I think, a sine qua non. Students are digital natives. They are born in technology, they use technology daily and different devices are part of their everyday lives. But what are the benefits and challenges? Read our latest blog, 'Do you use E.T?', to find out more about using educational technology.
