Drawing words: Wild
This new lesson plan for primary-aged learners is designed to be used with the picturebook Wild by Emily Hughes. The story notes for Wild are aimed at children of primary school age. However, picture books operate on many levels, satisfying children of different ages and with different language abilities, so it is difficult to be specific about age-level suitability. You will need a copy of the picture book and can download all other materials here.

Blog topics for November and December 2018
Our blog topics for November and December 2018 look at the theme of innovations in education. Some of the questions to discuss are: What difference is there between having a teacher who is considered, in traditional terms, a 'native English speaker teacher' and a 'non-native English speaker teacher'? More and more, we are told that our role as teachers is changing. We are told that the skills our students need for the future workplace in a globalised world are different from how they used to be. How do you provide a focus on these skills in your classes? What activities do you do that help your students develop these?
