24 July 2019
Welcome to the TeachingEnglish newsletter!

We've selected a range of practical resources to help you in the classroom and ideas to help you with your professional development, which we hope you find useful.

This week we feature three lessons focused on families to mark Parents' Day, which is held on the fourth Sunday of July in the USA.

The TeachingEnglish team
The Royal Family
This lesson plan for teachers of teenagers and adults at mixed level explores the theme of the British Royal Family. Students will build their knowledge of the Royal Family and develop their speaking skills. Download the lesson plan and worksheets here.
My family
This lesson provides teachers and primary children with an opportunity to see different kinds of families that might better reflect their own experiences. In this lesson primary children do a series of simple and supported vocabulary and reading activities which lead to them writing about their own families. At the end of the lesson they draw pictures of their families and they make a classroom display of their texts and pictures.
Blog of the month award for June 2019
Our featured blog of the month award for June 2019 goes to David Petrie (Teflgeek) and his post First (FCE) Speaking Video Lesson, which helps learners to understand what they should focus on when they do the speaking exam.

Start your journey to 21st-century education with Geo-Inquiry
Geo-Inquiry, a teaching method developed by National Geographic, is a single method which combines all the needed activities for developing new skills. This method can easily be adapted and used from preschool to high school. Find out about the steps of the Geo-Inquiry process and see a summary of a theme-based unit developed by following these steps in this week's featured blog post by Milica Vukadin.
Shakespeare and his family
This lesson for learners at A1 level is about Shakespeare's family. It provides students with an insight into his family background and the lexis of family. Students will raise their awareness of Shakespeare's life, develop their ability to ask and answer questions orally and practise reading, writing, listening and speaking using the present simple.
