TeachingEnglish Teachers Welcome to this week's edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! This week we are happy to announce that we have two new courses starting soon: Language assessment in the classroom and Climate action in language education. We also bring you news of the IATEFL YLTSIG Emerald Anniversary web conference. Don't miss this exciting three-day event! Our next webinar, with Andy Hockley, is also not to be missed: Staff engagement and motivation in the language teaching organisation. And if you've ever written, or thought about writing, your own materials, and need some tips and pointers, then take a look at Katherine Bilsborough's article. For the classroom, we have a lesson for young learners about Bonfire Night, which we celebrate here in Britain on 5 November. And finally, our celebrations for World Teachers' Day may be over, but you can find recordings of all eight webinars here. We hope you find these resources useful. The TeachingEnglish team | |

|  Staff engagement and motivation in the language teaching organisation Research has shown that organisations with high employee engagement have better customer satisfaction, more productiveness, greater enthusiasm, lower absenteeism and reduced turnover. In this webinar we look at what we mean by the idea of engagement (as it applies to teachers and other staff), how it connects to motivation, and what kinds of things we can do as academic managers to enhance engagement. |

|  Teachers as materials writers: some considerations Most teachers create at least some of their classroom materials, either as a supplement or as a replacement to the coursebook they are using. Are your materials good quality? You probably think they are but how do you know? And what can you do to make sure they pass a certain standard of quality control? Here are a few questions and answers that might help you to make your good materials even better. |
