Well, this one page is an amazing platform where informative, thought-provoking articles on teaching are shared, ideas are Exchanged and where we all are as well Teachers can learn a lot more from each other.

Very helpful, especially for teachers . I do find some great resources in here, so I recommend it to teachers

Plenty of ideas, many resources for all levels, interesting and useful.

I want to warn against Aghiles Salim Brahimi from Algiers. He is hurting and scaring British women. He has been banned on Instagram for harassing British women, trying to get a visa. He uses dating apps to hunt for British women and tells them his name is Aslan Yavrusu. He is on this page using that fake name and hunting for women to scam. He says to them he has lived in London for 2 years but he has never visited the UK. He lies and says he is the store manager at ZARA in Bab Ezzouar, but he was only the assistant manager. His job ended at ZARA in September 2017. He lied to make my British friend love him, simply to manipulate her into helping him come to the UK, but she found out. He then used Islam to lie by saying he cannot be with her because she is atheist. But he knew she was atheist from the start and he continues to harass UK women who are atheist too. Using Islam to lie and hurt women is evil! He is reported to London police for harassing women and attempting to come to the UK for criminal reasons. Please stay safe if you know him. He could commit other crimes. He is a very immoral man and not a true muslim!

What do we can do to get the attention of the students, to be ensure that the learning of the English language will be successful ?

Researchin says: learners´s attention capacity, can be held for periods of short times, and this capacity is proportional to the learners´s age. ( From 5 to 20 minutes).

I´d like to know different class and course planning models.

With what level of progress is defined that this course to approve it ?

I'm Réda Maaza from Algeria and so pleased to get in touch with TeachingEnglish-British Council.What I appreciate more is teaching English as a foreign language and also experts' talks about English as a world language .

I took a course in uae � in British council there. The instructor has a degree in law as he said not qualified in teach English as second language. We complained no answer unfortunately. This complain was from all the class . You just took my money for nothing. The corse was in ielts .
