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. Go to lesson Motivated teens: A cross-cultural digital exchange 'Give teens an opportunity to talk (preferably about themselves), use digital technology and make choices and motivation is suddenly not so elusive...'. 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.
