The TeachingEnglish team | | The World Wide Web was 'born' in March 1989 and is celebrating its 30th birthday. In this lesson for teenagers and adults at B1 level, students will talk about the World Wide Web, read an article about its history, learn how to give web and email addresses, and finally describe and present a website to their classmates. | | | Survey on inclusive practices in English language teaching | Are you an English language classroom teacher, English language head teacher, supervisor or school leader? Wherever you are in the globe, and regardless of the educational stage or setting you work in, this survey on your attitudes and practice relating to inclusive practices in English language teaching is for you! Please help the British Council by taking the survey and also encourage other teachers in your networks to do so. | | | How the internet has changed our lives | This month marks the 30th birthday of the World Wide Web. Life has changed a lot since the days before the internet, but most children can’t imagine how different life used to be. This lesson for older primary students starts with learners thinking about how they use the internet in their daily lives. Then they think about how children’s lives would have been different before the internet was invented. They then do a 'jigsaw reading' followed by a discussion. | | | There's a gesture for that! | 'Every student needs to feel included in your classroom, and gesturing is the great equalizer. I model it, we do it together, and students can do it on their own. Gestures transcend language. Gestures are fun.' Find out more about how you can use gestures in lots of ways to support language learning in a fun way by reading this week's latest blog post. | | | St Patrick's Day – 17 March | St Patrick’s Day is now celebrated throughout the world, not just in Ireland, with the largest parade taking place in New York City. There are several elements of this Irish festival that children love to find out about, and you can find numerous online resources to help you prepare a very culturally rewarding lesson for both you and your young learners. Read about a range of activities. | | | Ed tech: the mouse that roared | Our featured talk this week focuses on the professional practice 'Integrating ICT'. In this talk, Scott Thornbury warns us that we need to guard against the hype and disappointment associated with new digital tools and apps by asking, 'What is the problem for which this technology is the solution?' In this talk, Scott reduces language learning to six ‘problems’ and evaluates the solutions that technology offers. | | | | | | | |
