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.
The newsletter will be taking a break in August, but we will be back with more practical ideas in September.

Summer festivals in Britain
In this lesson, for students aged 12-adult at B1/B2 level, learners will discuss what the key ingredients of a summer festival are, read some fact files about popular summer festivals in the UK and decide which one they would like to go to, read and find out information about the Glastonbury Festival, and finally get creative and design their own summer festival.
Who does what? – YouTube technique
In this YouTube-based activity, students watch a scene from an animated film and observe the actions performed by characters. The activity is suitable for low level primary students since the focus here is not on listening. The technique can be used to review present tenses and vocabulary for daily routines and adapted for other cartoons or films.
Nick Bilbrough - Zooming in and out
For children in refugee camps around the world, where teaching materials, language exposure, and opportunities for communicative language use are severely limited, simple videoconferencing tools can facilitate a positive and motivating language learning experience. Reflecting on the work of The Hands Up Project, in this webinar Nick Bilbrough explores a range of activities that can help learners with both the bits and pieces of language (zooming in) as well as the wider picture (zooming out).

Two London parades compared
This lesson for students at A2 level compares two of London’s biggest parades: the Lord Mayor’s Show, which originates from the same time as the Magna Carta, in 1215, and the Notting Hill Carnival, which has been held in August every year since 1966 and is one of the largest street festivals in the world. The lesson incorporates speaking activities, reading and some grammar.
Video in language teacher education
This report details and evaluates the range of video-based practices currently being used in language teacher education. The project also sought to build a community of practice among practitioners in order to share good practice. This is achieved through the following two online resources: a series of videos featuring various video-based practices in language teacher education (ViLTE Video case studies), and a ViLTE Project website providing access to extra resources. Sign up to our Teacher Educator Community to watch a recording of the webinar by the authors.
