In the classroom

After talking to teens in New Orleans and in South Africa, we found out how much we need young people and their often remarkable powers of recovery - whether it's following natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina, or human disasters, like the decades of apartheid.

The ultimate feeling of freedom is probably leaving home to go to university abroad. Our report will help your pupils to think seriously about the future. And Vocab! deals with an essential step towards being free – getting your driving licence.

While everyone is thinking about South Africa, our special report on football and street children will give your pupils a different look at the World Cup. We also take a look at the controversy surrounding teens who get plastic surgery.

Young people in the north of England tell us all about their beautiful countryside and fun traditions. We also take a look at a unique and very traditional group of Americans – the Amish. Plus, we've got an exercise to get your pupils discussing English in music. 

This month sees the launch of our new vocabulary booklet – VocAB! We tell your pupils how they can experience a foreign culture by working as an au pair. And we have an article to explain what political correctness is and how people use or abuse it.
