Just saw this photo-copiable book featuring card games to help beginner/intermediate/advanced students master pronunciation of the 44 sounds of English. Looks fantastic - will definitely be ordering this!

see www.languagepointtraining.com/products

Here is the description:

“This comprehensive resource contains 10 engaging photocopiable activities designed for use with photocopiable phoneme cards. These cards add a physical element to teaching English pronunciation, and can be cut out of the book, or copied and made into sets as you need them. Gamify your pronunciation teaching with these adaptable pronunciation activities.

If you're struggling with how to teach English pronunciation to your ESL students or can't get them to learn the English pronunciation rules, then look no further than these English pronunciation activities. Make learning correct English pronunciation, fun.

English language pronunciation is generally divided into two main camps, American English pronunciation, and British English pronunciation...either way, it's important for your students to improve their English pronunciation. This English pronunciation games book supports the learning of both British and American English pronunciation, so you've got your bases covered.”

“From Our Archives...” Here’s some old pics we dug up recently. Ruth’s first English teaching job in Pusan, South Korea. Living and working in the Dominican Republic. Jordan teaching Spanish in Spain to retired British expats. Teaching in Poland and Russia. Our first Swahili class in Tanzania... and our story is not over yet!

Where would you love to go when it is safe to do so? ✈️

You asked for this! 😬 😁Introducing our new series of classes - “Grammar Boot Camp.” 🥾🥾 We want this to be a relaxed and fun - but effective way for you to get familiar with the “language” of English grammar.

🔀 Grammar is a MASSIVE subject and can be very overwhelming! We are going to focus primarily on the fundamentals that you need to have a firm grip on as you begin to teach English. Also, it will be very helpful even if you just feel like you would like to brush up on what you have studied in the past, as a refresher.

❓✅ It is not necessary to have taken our one week TESOL course to join, but if you have - then you have already acquired lots of fantastic teaching methods and may have already started teaching. That is great!!

🔨🪛 For others, this may be just what you need to feel like you have ALL the tools necessary to get started. English Grammar is something that many teachers “learn as they go,” but the there is a certain foundation level knowledge that is needed to succeed. Imagine if you contracted a carpenter to do some work for you, and you know that he produces excellent work, but he says, “can you pass me that thing over there, I can never remember if it’s called a hammer or a screwdriver...” You already are a fluent English speaker, and you have learned some fantastic and very practical teaching methods, but now what is needed is also to learn the terminology, the “language” of English grammar.

🔆So the next step is for you to also feel confident with the standard “labels” and terminologies that are used to present and explain the various structures that are used in the English language. And we are here to help!

🌊🏊‍♀️Let’s have a great time together as we “dive into” the fun and fantastic world of ENGLISH GRAMMAR! See you March 28!

Please feel free to contact us by email or DM and we will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
