TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
25 October 2017

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter.
Halloween is just around the corner and this week we feature lessons for kids and teens to celebrate this special time of year. We also feature an article for those of you who teach more senior adult learners.

We are also pleased to announce the call for applications for the prestigious ELTons awards and the publication of a new collection of teacher success stories - 'Champion teachers Peru'.

And finally, enhance your career prospects with an internationally recognised MA in English language teaching from the UK. The course is completely online and starts in January 2018.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

In this lesson, learners will practise Halloween vocabulary and sing a song or watch a story. Depending on stages chosen, they will then invent an animal skeleton, write a spooky story, play a Halloween game or invent a magic potion. Finally, they will make a paper skeleton, then write and talk about it.


Teaching teens

Halloween is celebrated on 31 October and is becoming increasingly popular among teenagers across Europe. This lesson plan focuses on a series of activities designed to focus on different skills, all related to Halloween. The activities can be adapted, so choose the most suitable for your group, taking into account their language levels and interests.



Teaching adults

There are many benefits of studying for older learners, such as increased self-confidence, increased feelings of health and well-being, reduced feelings of isolation and increased engagement in the community. There is now substantial evidence that they can learn a new language effectively. Kieran Donaghy shares his experiences of teaching senior learners and shows how they are excellent language students.

Development

Enhance your career prospects with the world's English experts and open up a world of opportunities with an internationally recognised postgraduate qualification in English language teaching from the UK. The MA in ELT has been developed by the British Council in collaboration with Southampton University and is completely online, offering you an affordable and convenient way to study. It takes 2.5 years and is aimed at experienced English teachers.

Events

If you have created an innovative English language teaching or learning product or service, why not put in an application for the prestigious ELTons awards? The deadline for applications is 3 November 2017. Any ELT professional can apply for consideration for one of the categories, including authors, teachers, trainers and publishers.


Magazine

In a multicultural and multilingual context like the Peruvian one, the teaching of English in school presents enormous challenges. In 2016, English teachers in Peru were invited to share innovative and successful experiences in the classroom. 'Champion teachers Peru' is a publication which recognises the pedagogical practices in English of educators from different regions of the country.
