Language and culture: two sides of the same coin
Teaching a language is not just a question of linguistic skills; culture also has a role to play. And we can say that both, language and culture, inevitably influence the other. Do our students understand the importance of culture? Read Ingrid Mosquera's post for some examples of questions we can pose in order to reflect on culture and language.
New research paper by AQUEDUTO – Association for Quality Education and Training Online
AQUEDUTO, an organisation promoting quality assurance for online training, has commissioned an informative review of the literature in the field of online language teacher education. Its first piece of commissioned research takes a broad look at the current state of online language teacher education (OLTE). The full paper is also available online and open access.
Faith
This lesson for teen and adult learners at B1/B2 level focuses on religious diversity in the UK. Students will learn vocabulary related to different world religions, discuss their own beliefs, read a text about religion in the UK and have a debate about faith schools. Be aware that this could be a sensitive topic with some students, although the lesson is approached more from a cultural studies perspective.
