Read James Taylor's insightful article about teaching English in the post-truth era. | | | In this lesson, young learners will be introduced to the popular song 'Over the mountains'. They will listen to the song, complete comprehension activities and extend their knowledge of transport vocabulary and collocations.

Finally, learners can do some extension work based on the song, inventing a new verse, creating some display work and playing a game. | | | Belonging to a teacher association is a unique way to develop and become a better, more up-to-date professional, who will have a broader understanding of the current teaching practices and methodologies and a deeper knowledge of who our students are.
