TeachingEnglish Teachers Welcome to this week's edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! Our celebrations for World Teachers' Day have begun! Earlier today we heard from Sophia Mavridi, who looked back on our language teaching experiences during Covid-19 to look ahead, while Lesley Fearn explained how integrating Online Community Projects into language curriculums can support teachers in their professional development and incite learner-centred approaches. In our last newletter, we brought you news of Thursday's webinars – Teenagers: Flow and the random factor and Using WhatsApp for interactive tasks.This week, we bring you more information about our events on Wednesday and Friday and look forward to you joining us for these. To mark Dyslexia Awareness Week 2021, we also feature a talk by Maria Jose Galleno: Giving a hand. Apps for dyslexia. And finally, with Halloween just around the corner, we bring you a collection of activities to help you celebrate this fun festival with your learners. We hope you find these resources useful.

 Giving a hand. Apps for dyslexia In this talk, Maria Jose Galleno looks at different apps that help learners who have dyslexia. Maria explains how technological tools can be used to enhance learning opportunities and help dyslexic learners become free from dependence on simplified material and special aid from the teacher. By using the technology, teachers are able to deliver more valuable lessons in which they can engage all students, thus creating a fully inclusive classroom. |
