Pronunciation straddles two domains: it is part language - like grammar or vocabulary, and part skill - like speaking or listening. Join us on 13 December at 16:00pm UK time for a webinar by Mark Hancock, looking at effective pronunciation teaching. Find out more and register here.
Understanding Pronunciation
Understanding how to teach pronunciation effectively makes you a better teacher. With our self-study module 'Understanding Pronunciation', you will learn how to explain the key concepts of pronunciation and discover how to build a focus on pronunciation in your classroom teaching.

Let's make snowflakes
As the festive season approaches, you may want to get your younger learners making decorations for your classroom. In this lesson, students watch a story about snow before learning how to fold and cut paper in patterns to make snowflakes. These can be used to decorate the classroom or to make a card to celebrate the holiday season. Extend the lesson by making a snowman with your students. Use the winter colouring page as a festive way to keep early finishers of other activities busy.
Learning what's important
Do you remember when you were a student? What kind of subjects did you have at school? How about your interests that time? How about technology? Your interests have changed of course and technology is an everyday routine. How about the children and the young people who are growing up in a globalised world and can't live without technology? As teachers we have to think about that and change the way we teach. In this post you can read about ideas to use with your students so they can be citizens of the world.
