First, we are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, 'Sticky Objects and Positive Emotions: researching teacher well-being and resilience', on Wednesday 09 December. For the classroom, we have a Christmas lesson plan for young learners. And if you are a teacher of primary learners, please complete our survey. This week we also bring you a series of podcasts about issues and ideas around education. And finally, we have a range of new, free online courses for the New Year – which one will you choose? We hope you find these resources useful. The TeachingEnglish team Sticky Objects and Positive Emotions: researching teacher well-being and resilience Teaching is an emotional business. Sadly, many of us are familiar with the stresses and anxieties of second language learning and teaching. This webinar on 9 December at 12 p.m. UK time, presents findings from research on EAP teachers' positive emotions within their daily lives, and offers some suggestions for ways in which teachers can support their own well-being. Register for this event Teacher Activity Groups: an effective model for professional development? Several professional development projects delivered by the British Council in recent years have used a community of practice (CoP) model called Teacher Activity Groups (TAGs). In this webinar we explore what makes the TAG model unique and present the results of a review of six TAG projects in different parts of the world. Watch a recording of this webinar A Christmas lesson This lesson for low-level primary students includes an introductory song, a focus on clothes words, review and practice of 'has got' and a labelling and colouring activity. There are suggestions for some other follow-up Christmas activities too.   Go to lesson Teaching English in primary school – survey Are you a teacher of English in a primary school?
