Preparing your trip to the UK
Here are a few ideas for helping your students prepare for a trip to the UK : a worksheet on how to learn regularly and build your vocab as you travel, a small table on the English pound system, some ice-breaker Qs to ask host families (not easy the first evening with a family!), etc. Hope it�s helpful!

Strange Fruit by B Holiday
This is the wonderful song "Strange Fruit" which I�ve made with blanks for a listening comprehension exrcise I include in my theme on US Civil Rights. You can download the song on YouTube, or you can do it as a poem which students will read out to the class as a speaking/listening exrcise. In any case, it�s a haungtingly great song!

Mad Men 1.1 Oral comprehension
A short during-and-after comprehension worksheet to go with the first episode of the fabulous "Mad Men" TV series.

I put the subtitles on, and if the class gets really interested, we watch again later without the subtitles. Enjoy!

Why can�t the English teach their children how to speak?
This is a song from "My Fair Lady" (which you can find on YouTube) which I�ve redone with some different words. The point is to listen and first underline the different words, then the second time round write the correct word on the side.
