The TeachingEnglish team | | International Day of the Child | UNICEF world children's day was 20 November, so why not highlight it this week with one of our two lessons for children? 'Two boys from Syria and Germany' features a video and activity about two boys from different countries and how they help each other. 'Children's rights' is a lesson that raises awareness of this important issue and ends with students making a booklet about children’s rights. | | | If you have Chinese-speaking, German-speaking or Spanish-speaking students in your class, why not ask them to do the Vocabulary Challenge? By taking the Vocabulary Challenge your students are not only testing their knowledge but they are also supporting Unicef. Every time a student enters a correct word, the British Council will give 1p (£0.01) to Unicef until our £2,000 target is met! | | | Shopping and Sales tricks | Our lesson plan for adults and teenagers at B2 level looks at some of the shopping and sales tricks that are used, especially at this time of year. In this lesson, students take part in a discussion, they read a blog about common tricks used by retailers, plan their own stores in groups, and present their ideas to the class, using posters to help them explain their ideas. Go to lesson plan. | | | How language affects refugees' abilities to access education, training and employment | The importance of language in schools, training centres and workplaces cannot be underestimated in refugee communities, especially given that so often they find themselves economically, socially and politically marginalised. Were refugees able to participate fully in these institutions in host countries, there would be a dividend which would be to the advantage of both refugee and host communities alike.

Learn how integrating flipped and cooperative learning has helped one teacher to put the focus on the students encouraging them to become more active, more collaborative, more creative, more responsible, more autonomous and more respectful. | | | | | | | |
