The TeachingEnglish team | | Blog topics for September and October 2019 | Our latest blog topics for September and October look at teaching the key areas of grammar and reading, and, as the new school year gets started in various parts of the world, your professional development aims for the coming year. As always, there were also a variety of thought-provoking and constructive posts for July and August. Check out our new blog topics for September and October 2019 and some highlights from the last two months. | | | Throughout the year you’ll be using classroom language, and it’s important for children to be introduced to it very early on so that they can understand what you want them to do. In this lesson, learners will practise both listening to and producing instructions with two simple games. Then there is an activity where they will come up with classroom rules and sign their own class contract. | | | Ch-Ch-Changes: Challenging professional moves | Are you looking at job opportunities to push yourself to develop? In this blog post, Vicky Saumell describes how she decided to go for a job opportunity that looked really interesting, but which also meant her moving out of her comfort zone. Vicky reflects on the differences and challenges she's faced, how she's adapted to change and how she's pushed herself and grown professionally. | | | Carnivores vs. herbivores | This lesson for secondary students at level B1 focuses on the difference between carnivores and herbivores. Students watch the video Triumph of the Herbivores, available from BBC Earth, about how herbivores escape being eaten by carnivores, and then do one of the suggested follow-up activities. Lesson aims include developing and practising listening, discussion and critical-thinking skills (categorising and classifying). | | | Do you assess your students or do you just test them? | Assessment, evaluation, measurement, grades, tests, marks and so on. Different words to talk about the same issue. But should they be used as synonyms? There are some terms that we often use synonymously, but actually they are not. When you assess your students, regardless of whether you use a test or not, you evaluate all the information in order to measure it and grade them. Read this week's featured blog post to learn more about assessment terms, tips and advice, and practical ideas. | | | TeachingEnglish training Every month we offer a 50% discount on one of our three-hour self-access training modules. | | British Council teacher community on Facebook | | | | | | | |
