A web of wealth

The internet can help teachers in three main ways; by providing learning resources, teaching resources and opportunities for professional development.

Non-standard is not sub-standard

Dialects are about belonging to a discourse community, a tolerance of which is crucial to developing intercultural competence.

If you’re not a specialist, help is at hand

Specialist vocabulary is now a crucial component of business English courses. Business English trainers are expected to be able to provide training in ESP as well as in general business vocabulary and skills.

CLIL for skiers

I didn’t realize that I knew only the German words for skiing terminology until I tried to explain these things to my British visitors.

Not just a teaching resource

Business Spotlight is not just a teaching resource; I’ve learned a heck of a lot from the magazine over the years.

Our mobile-learning survey results

Our survey results indicate that, in order to meet more closely the learning needs and wishes of students, teachers need to make use of mobile devices and tools in a targeted way.

My first online workshop

Holding a workshop online is quite different from doing one with a “live” audience, most notably because of the nature of the audience reaction.

Practical teaching ideas

I like the magazine feature My Working Life because the language is generally at a low level, but the text can be exploited at all levels, in terms of both language and/or tasks.

What I learned at the Oktoberfest

Have you tried remembering telephone numbers without the help of your mobile phone lately?

An instant presentation

Getting your students to give a presentation on the topic of their name takes the focus away from difficult content and shifts it instead towards presentation language, skills and structure.
