See the latest news and stories from the TeachingEnglish website
TeachingEnglish Teachers Welcome to this week's edition of the TeachingEnglish newsletter! This week we are happy to bring news of two webinars on the themes of picturebooks for the primary ELT classroom and face-to-face storytelling. For the classroom, we have a nice speaking activity, especially for those of you who are returning to face-to-face teaching, a project idea and a framework for class discussions. And finally, we would also ask you to kindly complete our survey on English as a global language. We hope you find these resources useful. The TeachingEnglish team | |

 Picturebooks in European primary English language teaching (ELT)This webinar on 18 March 2021 will discuss picturebooks and their potential for the primary ELT classroom. How can you choose and use picturebooks? How can materials be developed around picturebooks? The presenters will answer these questions and more and share a wide range of free resources from their website. |

|  Face-to-face storytelling: Freedom to share physical and sensory spaceAs many of us return to face-to-face teaching, how can we make the most of the space we physically share with our students? In this webinar David Heathfield explores opportunities storytelling gives us to playfully adapt the physical space we share inside our classrooms as well as in larger indoor and outdoor spaces. |

 A class magazine Class projects can be an excellent way to focus the whole class and get them working together towards a common goal. Taking some 'time out' from regular classes and doing something completely different can really help group dynamics, and you may also give quieter or less able students a chance to shine. Making a class magazine is a project that will appeal to most groups, as it allows individuals to work on what interests them. |

|  Discussion wheels Discussion wheels are a good way of giving students time to think and formulate opinions before they do discussion work. They work particularly well with areas of discussion which can have ranges of agreement or disagreement. The discussion wheel approach gives the students more of a supportive framework and a goal for their discussion. A downloadable discussion wheel template is also provided. |

 British Council research into English as a global language We are interested in your views and opinions on trends and movements in English. The results of this online survey will be used to stimulate thought and discussion about the ever-changing position of the English language in the world. This is a follow-up survey to an earlier one using a more country-focused lens. |

|  In the teacher's shoes This is a great activity for the first class with a new group or when you come back to class after a holiday, a weekend or remote teaching. Students work in teams and write questions to ask you, but instead of you answering, students step into your shoes and try to answer the questions as they think you would answer. |
