Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher Bonfire night and Poppy day have both gone but we still have plenty of podcasts for November including A podcast about poo (World Toilet Day is 19 November) for level 3, and Watching the box (World TV Day is 21 November). But we have more for later in the month so check the sidebar on the levels pages in a few weeks' time. Check out the highlighted Podcasts of the month too: A mouse in the house for level 2 and Liquid gold (it's over 10 years since we did our first olive harvest!). This level 3 podcast also has a pie vid. We'll have 580 podcasts up by the end of this month! How do you find a topic you like? Go on to our pieplus page or simply click here and you'll find three lists of podcasts, one for each level. There's a short description for each one and the topics are highlighted. Meanwhile for our first podcast this month we ask: Would you like to dance? Hear whether it is Jackie or Richard that likes to strut their stuff! 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. Get it here. Also, why not enter our monthly competition? It's open to teachers and learners and the winner gets 3 months free pie membership! Just answer this question: Where did Jo first see the mouse? Was it a) on her bookcase, b) in her bed, or c) under the kitchen sink? The answer is in this level 2 podcast: A mouse in the house.Write your answer on our Contact us page. Remember to tell us your name and where you are from. Good luck! Answers by the end of the month. All the very best. Richard and Jackie The pie team |
