Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher The temperatures are beginning to rise and we welcome the start of the holiday season, although a rather different one this year. But to get you in the mood we have lots of summer podcasts including this one, from a long time ago: Top holiday spots which is for level 1. We also have Summer jobs and Paris in summer. And if that is not enough we start the month with a podcast talking about our Summer hols when we were little. Again, this is for level 1. Listen to where we went and what we did. We also talk about our tent in Come camping. There are plenty more highlighted podcasts in the levels sidebar so go and have a look, including lots of podcasts for July. Our favourite is Friends indeed as International Day of Friendship is 30 July, this is for level 1. There are not only podcasts and worksheets but we also have loads of extra materials for teachers including top tips to help students listen to real conversations and helping them recognise the key natural features of spoken English. And there's more! All on the Pie plus page. And we have Take a Text. Take a Text is a collection of 30 activities that you can do with your course book readings. There are 23 pre-reading activities, and 7 post-reading activities. It's great for new and more experienced teachers as it's a practical, easy reference book packed with ideas. AND only 5 Euros.
