IED-08 cover

This edition of InEnglish Digital, the eighth, asks the question: ''How creative can you be?"

It opens with an article by Alan Maley, 2012

Lifetime Achievement Award.

Other articles range from theoretical parsing to practical tips for creative classroom practices and  include:

Mikolaj Sobocinski on creating the right context for students to speak English in "You Wanna Teach? Don't Bother..."

Damian Williams tracks the way English is used in the real world surrounding his students.

Celeste Simões and Helena Oliveria use technology creativity to motivate their students.

Luísa Lima and Francisco Langa discuss practical applications to help boost the creativity of lessons, and Tanguene and Sangare share their delightful poems.

Carolyn Leslie offers an article which examines how groups in classrooms interact (or don't!) and relates some analysis to her own experiences.

The InEnglish magazine was originally launched in December 1979 under the name of the Newsletter.

It then became the Journal, and in Autumn 2002 took on a new look and a new name - InEnglish.

In Spring 2008 it first experimented with being an online magazine. In 2011 the magazine became InEnglish Digital.

You can catch up with IEDs 1 to 7 by using our previous issues section.

 

Got something to say?
We are always looking for teachers and other ESL/EFL professionals to contribute to future editions of IED. You don't have to have published before.

If you have some classroom activity which you think would work for others, if you have had a classroom experience that was so memorable that you'd like to share it with others, or if you have some thoughts about methodology or strategy, then why not consult the guidelines for contributors and write an article?
