This lesson for primary students aged 7 to 10 years old is all about friendship and celebrates International Day of Friendship on 30 July. They start the lesson by working together to understand what it means to be a good friend, through a discussion and then by analysing a simple text. They finish by working together to make posters celebrating friendship.

'Fashion statements' is a staged discussion activity which focuses on students' personal opinions of style and fashion. Students say whether they agree or not with a number of statements. They then express to what extent they agree or not. Finally, they take part in a group discussion.

'Four hats for discussion' is an integrated speaking lesson for higher-level adults that involves them taking different roles depending on the colour of their hat. Teachers can use their own discussion topics or encourage their learners to suggest them. The activity aims to encourage learners to use English in a creative way while developing speaking skills.

Student well-being is recognised as an essential element to learning and it is particularly important with teens. This workshop by Rachael Harris, given at IATEFL 2017, focuses on well-being in one's self, within a group and also in relation to learning. Activities include warmers and fillers but also year projects. And the well-being of the teacher is not forgotten.
| Magazine
Our blog topics for July and August 2017 look at the theme of 'Managing resources'. How much materials development do you do in your teaching? How do you differentiate for your learners in your planning and lessons? As a teacher, how do you help your learners develop the technical skills and social practices needed to effectively interact with digital technologies? These are just a few of the questions we are asking you to consider for July and August. Happy blogging!
