TeachingEnglish Teachers Welcome to the first 2021 edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! We wish you all a very healthy and happy New Year. This week we focus on professional development. 2020 was a challenging year for us all, and to start off this new year, we feature two posts on well-being and continued development to encourage and inspire you. For the classroom, we have a new secondary lesson plan on the theme of poverty, an article on effective questioning techniques and a post on the benefits of a cross-cultural digital exchange project. And finally, a reminder about our free online course 'Teaching Young Learners Online', which starts on 11 January 2021. We hope you find these resources useful. The TeachingEnglish team | |

 What is enough? In this face-to-face or online lesson for secondary learners, students will focus on key vocabulary around the topic of poverty, discuss statistics and the meaning of wealth and well-being and consider what they need to live a poverty-free life. Finally, they will produce a poster and present their ideas. |

In this post you can read about how a cross-cultural project will not only motivate your teen learners but also enhance co-operation skills and learner independence. |

|  Professional development now This past year has turned our world upside down, and teaching is a part of that. We find ourselves teaching online, or to reduced class numbers, or we're possibly out of work due to closures. Richard Fielden-Watkinson discusses how courses, communities, journals, blogs and reflective practice can help us to to pause and assess what we do, why and how. |
