British Council Blog for October

The British Council's Facebook page has shortlisted one of my October Blogs for their TeachingEnglish blog award for October.

In this blog I basically discuss three different ways of grading group work. It is highly simplified as there are many things to take into for group work, but it does give some suggestions that teachers can take into account.
As the British Council puts it, "Group work can be great but how do we assess it? Carissa comes up a series of practical options for you to choose from"

British Council Blog for July

VOTING HAS CLOSED

The British Council's facebook page has shortlisted one of my July Blogs for their TeachingEnglish blog award for July.

In this blog I link to a lot of different ideas for using TPR in your EFL class and why you may want to consider doing it. There's also an YouTube video that shows authentic English songs that have lyrics which support TPR. As the British Council puts it, "Carissa looks at the reasons why TPR is an effective technique to use in language learning/teaching and comes up with loads of suggestions for games, activities and songs that will get your students up on their feet and moving."
