TeachingEnglish - the global home for teachers
7 February 2018

Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter
This week we announce registration details for our latest course 'Evaluating and creating digital content'.

We also announce a new practical publication, A handbook for exploratory action research, specifically targeted at school teachers working in relatively difficult circumstances.

For the classroom, we focus on Valentine's Day, with two lesson plans to use with your kids, teens and adults.

And finally, register for our upcoming webinar - 'Storytelling in the Inclusive Practice classroom' on 14 February.

We hope you find these resources useful.

Teaching kids

In this lesson, learners will play a vocabulary game with words associated with Valentine's Day. They will then review language related to Valentine's Day through a simple collocation activity, and read and learn a well-known Valentine's Day poem, noticing the use of countable and uncountable nouns. They will then produce their own poem.




Teaching teens

Celebrate Valentine's Day with this specially designed lesson plan for teens and adults. Students will brainstorm vocabulary related to the topic and then discuss some well-known quotes about love. They will speak about how people can find love, and read about Valentine's Day traditions in the UK. Students will then create a character for themselves and take part in a speed-dating role play, as well as deciding how important love is in our lives.


Teaching adults

Nowadays our classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse. The traditional classrooms which used to be more uniform are a thing of the past. In recent years most classrooms include students from different backgrounds, cultures, religions and family situations, and this makes the job of the teacher even more complex and demanding. Read our latest blog post 'No one stays behind!' to find out more about activities to try with diverse classrooms.

Development

Register for our latest course, 'Evaluating and creating digital content' - a course that explores how to evaluate and create digital resources and activities to use with your learners, in and out of the classroom. This is a moderated 15-hour course, and there are different start date options - 21 March or 6 June.




Events

Join Rachael Harris in this webinar, 'Storytelling in the Inclusive Practice classroom', on 14 February 2018 at 12.00 p.m. UK time to learn more about storytelling using Bloom's taxonomy and how to ensure all your students in the primary classroom are engaged and challenged. By using Bloom's taxonomy, we can provide activities that involve a variety of thinking skills, providing learning opportunities for all the learners in a class. 

Magazine

This is a practical handbook, written in a non-academic, teacher-friendly style, to show teachers how they can engage in research for their own continuing professional development and for the benefit of their students. Based on examples from actual experience, including cases from Champion Teachers: Stories of Exploratory Action Research,
the book is particularly targeted at school teachers working in relatively difficult circumstances.
