Looking back 
IED8
 
... to April 2014, when IED-08 was published.

This edition asks the question: ''How creative can you be?" and opens with an article by Alan Maley, 2012 ELTons winner of the British Council 's Lifetime Achievement Award. Other articles 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, while Celeste Simões and Helena Oliveria use technology creativity to motivate their students. Tanguene and Sangare share their delightful poems. 

Luísa Lima and Francisco Langa discuss practical applications to help to boost the creativity of lessons. Carolyn Leslie examines how groups in classrooms interact and relates some analysis to her own experiences. 

Looking forward... 
...to October 2014, when IED-09 is due to be published.

The theme is around Digital Safety. We wish to make a feature of the dangers faced by young people using the Internet unsupervised and what implications this has for teachers in the classroom.

We know that there are fantastic lessons and projects out there in which teachers have acknowledge this issue of digital safety in the English language classroom. 
 
Last chance to contribute...

If you would like to share your experiences in this area by writing an article for IED-09 then please consult the guidelines for contributors on our InEnglish Digital page.   

 

Completed articles should be sent to the IED Editor.

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?
