The Teacher´s Magazine Nº 136

June 2011

In this issue we are going to get down to work in the kitchen, which will be buzzing with activity.  The students will learn everything, from ways of cooking, action verbs to herbs and species for cooking and kitchen utensils. There are plenty of activities for you to pick out the right ones for your courses. They will allow you to work in several ways, with different purposes.
You will also find tips for using poetry and song lyrics in the classroom; photocopiable activities to commemorate Flag Day and the last series of our flashcard numbers.
Last, but no least, a very interesting article on post-colonial literatures will introduce us to the role of literature in the English classroom and will be a starting point for teachers eager to know more about the richness and significance of this subject.
