Communication takes many forms, and our classroom teaching will benefit by bringing in these new forms of communication. April’s Teacher’s Corner looks at several new literacies: instant messaging, comics and graphic novels, short-form videos, and podcasting. We explore what these forms are and how we can use them in the classroom to help students develop their language skills and to solve problems in an ever-changing world of communication. </div> </description> <pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2020 16:09:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>American English</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">2578 at https://americanenglish.state.gov</guid> </item> <item> <title>English Teaching Forum 2020, Volume 58, Number 1</title> <link>https://americanenglish.state.gov/resources/english-teaching-forum-2020-volume-58-number-1</link> <description> <span class="field-image"> <a href="/resources/english-teaching-forum-2020-volume-58-number-1"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/styles/medium/public/resource_images/etf_58_1_front_cover.jpg?itok=knStsTpg" width="169" height="220" alt="" /></a> </span> <div class="availability-information"><div class="title">Availability</div><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first"><a href="#node-2568-downloads" class="download">Resources</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="#node-2568-hardcopy" class="hardcopy">Hard Copy</a></li> </ul></div><div id="node-2568-downloads"><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Cover</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/etf_58_1_front_cover.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Back Cover</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/etf_58_1_inside_back_cover_w_answer.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div></div><div id="node-2568-hardcopy"><p><strong>International Subscriptions:</strong> English Teaching Forum is distributed through U.S. Embassies.

This month’s Teacher’s Corner explores the idea of pragmatics and why it is a valuable component to include in instruction. The article also contains resources and ideas for including pragmatics instruction and building up students’ pragmatic competence. </div> </description> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Dec 2019 14:48:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>American English</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">2546 at https://americanenglish.state.gov</guid> </item> <item> <title>Teacher's Corner: A Story of Design Thinking in the Classroom</title> <link>https://americanenglish.state.gov/resources/teachers-corner-story-design-thinking-classroom</link> <description> <span class="field-image"> <a href="/resources/teachers-corner-story-design-thinking-classroom"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/styles/medium/public/photo_2_1.jpg?itok=VtI0gJWw" width="220" height="147" alt="" /></a> </span> <div class="availability-information"><div class="title">Availability</div><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first last"><a href="#node-2539-downloads" class="download">Resources</a></li> </ul></div><div id="node-2539-downloads"><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Intro</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/november2019_teachers_corner_ryder.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div></div></div> <div class="field-resource-teaser"> Design thinking is a concept that has received growing attention in the United States in recent years.

However, managing the classroom and keeping young children engaged can also be a challenge. Giving YLs choices and opportunities to contribute their ideas can have very positive effects on behavior and the overall classroom community. In this month’s Teacher’s Corner, we will share ideas about how educators can develop autonomy and independence in young learners. </div> </description> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Sep 2019 19:23:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>American English</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">2536 at https://americanenglish.state.gov</guid> </item> <item> <title>English Teaching Forum 2019, Volume 57, Number 3</title> <link>https://americanenglish.state.gov/resources/english-teaching-forum-2019-volume-57-number-3</link> <description> <span class="field-image"> <a href="/resources/english-teaching-forum-2019-volume-57-number-3"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/styles/medium/public/resource_images/57_3-ofc_594x774.jpg?itok=8FlBWpdc" width="169" height="220" alt="English Teaching Forum 2019, Volume 57, Number 3" /></a> </span> <div class="availability-information"><div class="title">Availability</div><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first"><a href="#node-2525-downloads" class="download">Resources</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="#node-2525-hardcopy" class="hardcopy">Hard Copy</a></li> </ul></div><div id="node-2525-downloads"><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Cover</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/57_3_ofc.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Back Cover</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/57_3_obc.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Table of Contents</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/57_3_01-toc.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div><div class="item link-with-description"><div class="description">Note for Teachers</div><div class="link"><a href="https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/57_3_ifc.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="application/pdf" src="/sites/all/themes/custom/eca_ae/images/icons/application-pdf.png" />Text (PDF)</a></div></div></div><div id="node-2525-hardcopy"><p><strong>International Subscriptions:</strong> <em>English Teaching Forum</em> is distributed through U.S. Embassies.
