Global English and the teaching of pronunciation
TE Editor
The emergence of so many different kinds (or 'varieties') of international English has caused a number of linguists to question the use of native speaker pronunciation models in the teaching of English. This article presents my research into the pronunciation of global English and gives some teaching implications.
Listening for young learners
TE Editor
In this article I will briefly focus on how I try to develop listening skills with our young learners who are learning English as an additional language.

Teaching Lexical Phrases
by Thomas Lavelle
The question I am taking up this week is: " How can I teach Lexical Phrases?
First, what is lexis? Very briefly, lexis is a word in all its various relationships with other words. Lexical phrases, (first mentioned in 1975 by Becker) according to Nattinger and Decarrico (1992), are multi-word chunks of language of varying length that run on a continuum from fixed phrases like in a nutshell to slot- and- filler frames like the _____er, the _________er.

Useful classroom language for teachers while using the board
When you are using the board is a critical time to make sure you use lots of interesting and relevant language, as the students are often passive while the teacher is writing on the board and the teacher has their back to the class and so can't make eye contact with the students to get their attention and check that they are understanding. The fact you are doing something and speaking about it also means that students can understand what you are saying from the context and so should learn the language you are using by watching and listening
Classes in preparation for EFL exams like TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE, PET, KET, BULATS, or BEC can be very motivating for both teachers and students. EFL exams is also an endlessly growing market that you will want to show you can teach for on your CV as soon as possible. Many teachers find the prospect of stepping into their first class daunting and/ or find the school unwilling to trust a teacher with no exam experience, however. Whilst at the top of the profession there is no substitute for being a qualified examiner or teaching one type of exam class for thousands of classroom hours, there are plenty of ways to make sure you are ready before your first class and so really give yourself the edge over others who have never taught for that exam before.
What are the characteristics of a good language test? A good test should have a positive effect on learning, and teaching should result in improved learning habits. Such a test will aim at locating the specific and precise areas of difficulties experienced by the class or the individual student so that assistance in the form of additional practice and corrective exercises can be given.
