TeachingEnglish newsletter | | | Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter! We've selected a range of practical resources to help you in the classroom and ideas to help you with your professional development. We hope you find them useful.
The TeachingEnglish team | | This is a lively activity suitable for children and teenage learners to practise prepositions of place. What is fun is that even if students don't succeed in throwing the ball into the basket, they will score one point for every correct description of the final location of the ball that they can say. | | | Informal classroom research and sharing | Teachers can conduct research with varying degrees of formality. This post discusses informal teacher-research as a means to maximise learning in language classrooms. Sajit M Mathews discusses how informal research, and sharing of experiences with other teachers, can be as useful as formal research involving theory, data collection, analysis and derivation of conclusions. | | | This simple low-resource game for younger learners practises adjectives. You need a ball, or alternatively a screwed-up piece of paper will work fine. Students stand or sit in a circle and pass the ball to the next person, pretending that it is, for example, really heavy, hot or cold by miming. | | | World Teachers' Day webinar recordings | To celebrate World Teachers' Day 2018 we held five free webinars on current topics or issues in teaching - Connecting with teacher educators; Using your brain: what neuroscience can teach us about learning; 'Native speakerism', identity and ELT; Ideas and strategies for low-resource classrooms; and Constructing the multilingual mindset. If you were unable to attend, you can now watch recordings of all five here. | | | Playing with lexical cards | Very often students know the meaning of a word but don't know how to use it correctly. This is often because they don't know which words go with other words, i.e. collocations. This activity helps teen and adult students expand their collocational knowledge of the nouns they already know, but it can be adapted for other parts of speech. It can be used with large classes and learners of any level - you simply need to create sets of cards. | | | | | | | |
