Not unit 5!

You might be familiar with this exclamation - do you ever open a coursebook and wonder how you're going to get your students talking? In this article, Luke Meddings argues that coursebooks often constrain us as teachers and lead us to missing opportunities in the classroom.


Research papers

Our new series on the big issues in ELT begins with a paper on Global Practices in Teaching English to Young Learners. You can download this paper for free to read about the research and five key recommendations for future action to support teaching English to young learners.


Digital literacy

The latest in our Seminars series sees Gavin Dudeney answer the question 'What is digital literacy?' He also talks about its implications for us as teachers, and gives you lots of practical ideas to try out in your own classrooms.
