Dear readers,
We hope you have charged your batteries during summer and are getting ready to welcome another school year! To that end, we have prepared an issue of the Newsletter filled with practical ideas to enrich your classroom experience. We offer lesson plans on how to teach and revise prepositions to teenagers in a creative way, how to open important questions and send inspiring messages to a group of students leaving school, and how to introduce the topic of Down syndrome to adults, guiding the students through misconceptions, and positive and derogatory language used.
Our best regards to our colleagues from TeachingEnglish for lending us their article and we thank our diligent students for writing enthusiastically for our Students’ corner.
Be well and have a most successful school year!
