TeachingEnglish Teachers Welcome to this week's edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! This week we are happy to announce our new ten-part podcast 'The Climate Connection'. Episode one 'Taking the temperature' is available now. Listen and subscribe to see how you can incorporate a focus on climate action in your English language classrooms. We also have information about a new, free, online training course, 'Teaching languages in primary schools: putting research into practice'. For the classroom, we have three lesson plans: one focused on transport for primary learners, and two for adult and teenage learners focused on news reports and vegetarianism. We also feature recordings of the two plenary sessions at this year's English UK English Language Teaching Conference. We hope you find these resources useful. The TeachingEnglish Team | |

 The Climate Connection The Climate Connection is a ten-part podcast series from the British Council which explores the relationship between the climate crisis and language education. Across the ten episodes, we'll hear from a wide range of leading practitioners working in the sector. We'll travel from Colombia to China, Moldova to Mali, and Palestine to Poland in our quest to share what's happening at the cutting edge of climate action in language education. In partnership with the Oxford English Dictionary, we'll also learn more about the origins of climate-related language, in both English and other languages. |

The lesson takes a process approach to writing, and students will develop their abilities to organise information and construct it into a text. There are also a number of suggested follow-up activities. |
