After two years facing a completely new reality, changing the way we see, handle and do things, accepting what was beyond our imagination and adapting to everything that was way out of our control, the time has finally come for us to meet in person… and we have organized everything in such a way that it will be worth visiting.

The Spring ’22 International Publishers Exhibitions will take place in Greece:

- Saturday/Sunday, 19/20 March 2022, The MET Hotel, Thessaloniki

I was in London recently and had time to kill, so I decided to stop somewhere for a coffee. It’s not difficult these days.

As we require parents' support to further this aim, it is important to encourage these learners to discuss their new study strategies with their parents.

Here we'd like to present activities designed to help teens make their homework practices more effective.

HOMEWORK --  KEEPING TRACK AND KEEPING ON TRACK:

ANSWER:  Here is a suggestion "In This Situation, What Would You Say and Do?"--a guided group work writing and speaking activity, in which intermediate level learners have the opportunity to write exchanges and short dialogues--appropriate to specific social situations.  There is minimal preparation and the entire 'double' activity should take approximately 20 minutes.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS:
