Breaking News English


An inexhaustable source of new ideas for current affairs-related class activities.
Great inspiration, e
asy to copy, adapt and paste to Word: just add videos, images and cook for fifteen minutes at 220ÂșC: perfect recipe?

I love the humungous variety of ideas/sources, good range of questions for pair work and some great links into the bargain!

Down side: somewhat repetetive format (but then again that encourages me to innovate and not just copy!) and boy is it ugly!

  1. You're right, there are great topics, but the exercises proposed tend to be rather repetitive.

  3. I used it to talk about the passive voice. I selected a few pieces of news and they had to find the passive voice sentences... Not very exciting, but better than doing book exercises!
