American English Update- 20/10

·AE        We want English language learners and teachers to be a part of our video! We’ve launched a new crowdsourced video campaign, and we would love for you to encourage teachers and learners to submit a video. In their short video (30-60 seconds), they should answer the questions: Why do you love English? What does English mean to you? Use the graphics attached to this email or Secretary Kerry’s video to promote the campaign.

We’ve started a new video series about modal verbs. The first short animated video is about giving advice using should and shouldn’t.

The October Teacher’s Corner is all about teaching academic writing. In this week’s Teachers Corner, we offer a template for conducting a successful teacher-student writing consultation.

This week’s Teens Talk interview is with Aidan who talks about spending time with his dad and looking for a part-time job.

This month, we are posting daily “verb opposites” graphics to the American English Facebook page. Some of these graphics are attached to this email.

If you’re looking for Halloween content, don’t forget to look on American English. There are also Halloween vocabulary graphics attached to this email.
