PUBLISHERS

On the fifth session the teacher trainer took us through some Publishers: Cambridge; Express Publishing; Heinemann; Longman; Pierson; Macmillan and Oxford.

We focused our attention on Longman English Language Teaching

It’s a free website with plenty of resources for teachers as for students as well. Its homepage is appealing, colorful and interactive.

It offers a great variety of lesson plans depending on your needs and students’ levels. These ones are organized in terms of low/ upper, beginners, intermediate or secondary.

You can also be offered a wide menu of Games, Quizzes, and Crosswords with answers keys, Puzzles, questionnaires and appealing interactive activities.

In Resources Archive you can find more lesson plans depending on the objective and the skills one wants to develop as well as activities focused on specific topics, grammar and vocabulary items also according to the students’ level.

Teaching tips archive containing lessons ideas and teaching tips to teach mixed ability classes to encourage students do their homework and enjoy it.

It also has fun on line activities for students as well as online activity archive which is free for download like all support activities.

To experiment some material we selected “Cooking Verbs”. It’s an interactive activity on food vocabulary for lower secondary students. The level of difficulty increases as you go through the exercises.

Depending on the selected topic or on the grammar item the teacher wants to teach, the website can be used with students on a regular basis, along to the large variety of activities. 

The link for the teens chat community is not working.
