'The seasons' is a collection of activities that take a wider look at how the year is split up into distinct parts. With younger learners you may touch upon the ever-decreasing dividing line between the seasons, and how seasons differ around the world. The majority of the activities are based on TBL (task-based learning), where you give your group a problem or situation and they work together to find a solution. And, many of these activities draw from other subjects across the curriculum.

This lesson is aimed at lower-level students with a variety of activities related to Bonfire Night. Students will do a jigsaw reading to complete a text about Bonfire Night; they will then discuss their own opinions about it. Students will design a Bonfire Night menu, thinking about the food they would like to eat while watching fireworks. They will learn a popular Bonfire Night rhyme and focus on pronunciation, before a final group work activity where they will produce a firework safety poster.

Have you ever considered why a learner (even an advanced one) can hear a difficult English word or phrase literally thousands of times and still not use that word in the way that a native speaker does? You might expect that, after having been exposed to a word in lots of contexts, a learner will gradually piece together the word's meaning and start to use it correctly, appropriately and fluently. Read 'Seven steps to vocabulary learning' to find out how you can help your learners to understand the meaning of words and use them more fluently.
