TeachingEnglish newsletter | | | Welcome to the first TeachingEnglish newsletter of 2019 and a Happy New Year to you all!
We've selected a range of practical resources to help you in the classroom and ideas to help you with your professional development.
The TeachingEnglish team | | Talking to teenagers in the English language classroom | Join us at 17:00 UK time on 17 January for our first webinar of 2019, with Chris Roland. In this webinar, Talking to teenagers in the English language classroom, we shall look at how to frame whatever it is we want to do with our students - exercises, pair work, skills work, feedback, behaviour - to maximise co-operation and make our classroom a more productive place for everyone. | | | Blog topics for January and February 2019 | Welcome to 2019. First, a big thank you for all of your posts throughout 2018. Your valuable insight into a wide range of topics and themes has helped over 50,000 visitors to TeachingEnglish develop as ELT professionals. To start 2019, we have four new blog topics, including some reflection on last year, your suggestions for using projects, dealing with unplanned moments and the importance of culture. | | | 50 per cent online teacher training discount | For January 2019, we are offering two self-study modules at half-price - £6 instead of £12! Understanding motivation in the classroom - Create the best learning environment for your classroom. Take this module and enjoy a renewed motivational atmosphere for you and your learners. | | | 360 degree Continuing Professional Development | Sandy Millin has been teaching professionally for ten years now, and for eight of those years she's been part of the online teaching community. She reads multiple blogs and writes her own, takes part in Twitter chats relating to teaching and training, and watches and presents webinars. However, she believes the internet is not essential for development, and what teachers really need in order to develop is the ability to reflect on their teaching in a balanced way. Read more about her ideas on professional development. | | | This lesson plan for primary-aged learners is designed to be used with the picturebook A Dog Day by Emily Rand. This is a story about a day in the life of a dog, and the dog, an Airedale Terrier, is waiting to go for his daily walk in the park. His owner, however, tests the dog’s patience by taking him on a number of errands before his walk. This is an easy-to-follow story told from the dog's point of view in rhyming couplets. Download the lesson notes and other activity worksheets. | | | An English action plan for primary, secondary and adult learners | A lot of people make resolutions at the beginning of a new year, and January is a good time for language learners to think about what they can do to maximise their learning in the year ahead. We have an English action plan activity for primary learners here and one for teenagers and adults here. | | | | | | | |
