Dear Teacher,
I hope you have eased gently into the new school year, in time for World Teacher’s Day on October 5th.
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The 2022-2023 Tune Into English Roadshow will premiere on 7th October in Pordenone and will also visit Tuscany, Puglia, Sicily and Calabria this month. I am excited about hitting the road again and would be delighted to come to your school this year. You can see full details of the show here – please get in touch!

October’s New Downloadable Worksheet
Autumn Leaves
This worksheet, based on the classic jazz standard and submitted by ELT guru Roy Boardman, looks at the feelings associated with the seasons. Some time ago Roy also prepared a worksheet for the UK national anthem – this has now been updated to God Save The King. Roy runs online courses through his website British English Worldwide.
