Teaching would
be great...if there were no students!
 I'm
sure even the most dedicated teacher has thought that
sometimes! But for most of us, students are what
makes teaching great and we treasure watching them learn. The
look on a student's face when they finally 'get'
the present perfect simple (some probably never will,
unfortunately!), their pride in giving a polished seminar
to other students which has involved hours of planning,
editing and practice, and a lively speaking activity which
has everyone having fun AND practicing the particular
skill you want them to focus on. These are some of the
things that make teaching so worthwhile.
At English-to-go, we are committed to producing the resources
that help you help students learn: activities that help
them engage and motivate them to achieve. We've always
been known for our interesting reading lessons and this
month's resources in the Teachers' Room include lessons
on the chilling effect of global warming on Alaska, a
study on the different effects of eating breakfast on
boys and girls and why the right clothes can help get
a promotion in the corporate workplace.
We're also committed to helping students understand significant
global issues and we invite you to teach your students
our World's Largest Lesson which looks at two critical
problems, the current global food shortage and the continuing
prevalence of landmines.
This lesson is available free to everyone during September
at http://www.english-to-go.com/english/free_lesson.cfm
and for news on the World's Largest Lesson please check

The lesson will be available for teaching during the whole
of September.

This month’s Point of Interest
is from ' 'Breakfast Study', Instant Lesson (Pre-Intermediate)
A new study suggests young adults may be less attentive
in school when they skip breakfast. The effect of missing
this meal is different in boys and girls, the researchers
found.
The study noted that males reported being in a worse mood
when they went without breakfast, and their visuospatial
memory was also poorer, but this wasn't true of girls....
