A matter of location: The use of maps in the English class
Maps can be a very important tool in the development of descriptive language. If we can transmit to our students the importance of the setting in a story, we will be able to turn their attention to detail when choosing a location and describing it. For that purpose, there are several online resources available. Find out more about such online resources, a CLIL activity using maps and ideas for extension activities in this blog post.

Creating an inclusive school environment
In this publication we have drawn together research and learning from around the world, in papers which highlight the need for inclusive education and some of the steps being taken to implement it. The settings brought to life here reveal the work of teachers, leaders and policy makers in geographically and culturally diverse situations. In each of the chapters we see the challenges they face and the significant efforts they make to ensure access to, and engagement with, a quality education for all children.
Easter
Children love learning about festivals and the way other people celebrate them. It’s also fascinating for them to compare how they celebrate the same festival in their own country. Easter is widely celebrated by children across the world, and it is interesting from a cross-cultural point of view to develop at least a few activities related to eggs, bunnies and hot cross buns!
And if you teach teenagers, try these lower-level activities to develop vocabulary and reading skills, or this Easter reading task that helps students to reflect on special occasions in their own culture.

Addressing challenges in especially low-resourced parts of the Global South – Hornby scholars
This recorded presentation from the 2019 IATEFL Conference starts from the assumption that in order to solve educational problems, you first have to understand their true nature. Each of the Hornby scholar presenters reports on how they have explored a specific issue arising from a lack of resources in an institution or area of their home country. They describe the context, discuss the data that they obtained and suggest possible ways forward.
