Dear Teacher,
Ten Years of the Tune Into English Roadshow, a 156-page e-book featuring the scripts of the first decade of the Roadshow, is now available.
This was published on the 21st November, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the first ever performance of the Tune Into English Roadshow. Thank you to all who participated in the presentation in Naples – you can see an extract from the celebrations here.
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The feedback on the 2015-2016 show has been extremely positive, and the tour continues this month with shows in Spain. I look forward to meeting you and your students this academic year!

December’s New Downloadable Worksheets
We Will Rock You – Queen
To celebrate the Roadshow’s 10th anniversary, each month we are publishing a worksheet for one song from each tour. This song was in the 2009-2010 show (reappearing in 2012-2013), and the worksheet focuses on the pronunciation of the word bass.
Oh, Pretty Woman – Roy Orbison
The Julia Roberts and Richard Gere film is 25 years old – Henrietta Flinn from Paris sent in this low level listening activity based on the theme tune.
Brandy – Have You Ever?
Gary Friel, the author of this worksheet (which is ideal for the Present Perfect), has an excellent youtube channel with the aim of allowing teachers to drill basic grammar in interesting and realistic ways.
Over 270 Downloadable worksheets now online (including ten Christmas worksheets).
Most worksheets have been written by your colleagues – perhaps you have prepared one and want to share it?
