Teaching tips for exam preparation 

Are you preparing learners for Cambridge English Qualifications? Our teaching tips booklets not only feature general teaching ideas but also exam strategies and information with links throughout to classroom resources, videos and sample tests.

Start as you mean to go on: classroom warmers 

Get your lessons off to a lively start with our classroom warmers. The booklet features seven simple 10–20-minute exercises for primary, lower secondary and upper secondary students. Use these throughout your course to engage students in a fun activity and review language and vocabulary.

Blog: learning professions in English

This post from our blog in Spanish teaches vocabulary related to professions and to the work environment, including useful expressions for the workplace.

Bringing sustainability into the classroom 

What does sustainability mean to you? People often focus on the climate crisis, however, whilst this is critical, sustainability is much broader than this. We look at how to widen your understanding of sustainability so that you can approach the topic in an inclusive way with your students. 

Webinars for teachers 

Our new webinar programme will be launching soon. In the meantime, why not watch a few of our past webinars? We’ve pulled out two popular webinars below to give you some ideas and inspiration.
