Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher Of course we have plenty of Christmas podcasts so check out the sidebars on the website for - Figgy pudding for level 1 where we talk about Christmas meals eaten in different parts of the world. We have O Christmas tree! for level 2 which explains the reason we have a tree inside the house at this time of the year. Plus, for level 3, Peter talks about his Christmases past and present in Jingle bells. However, there are many more so have a look! (We particularly like the Christmas adverts and we have three for you to watch and enjoy). There'll be a few new podcasts too this month so look out for those. However, we are getting up to 600 podcasts on the site so do give us suggestions for things to talk about! 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. Meanwhile, we take this opportunity to wish our listeners and members a great festive season, however you celebrate. We really look forward to seeing you all again in 2021. We are sure it's going to be a better year for everyone. All the very best. Richard and Jackie The pie team |
