American English, Update 3/15

What’s New from  AE? 


  • American English for Educators and English Language Fellow Programs joined forces for a #MyClassroom photo campaign. We received nearly 100 photos from teachers in 42 different countries. Please share our final video to show the variety of classrooms and the inspiring messages from some of these teachers. 

  • In this week’s animated video, we teach how to use the prepositions “about,” “above,” and “like” to describe people.

  • This month’s Teacher’s Corner is about promoting learner engagement in the classroom. This week’s “Beat the Clock” activity uses time to foster engagement in reading tasks.

  • This month, we are posting graphics with commonly confused words in English. 

  • In case you missed them last week, there are graphics for upcoming days on our SharePoint site: March 17 (green idioms for St. Patrick’s Day); March 20 (International Day of Happiness); and March 22 (water idioms for World Water Day).

  • The first facilitated session of our English for Media Literacy MOOC begins April 3. Registration opens March 20. Graphic to promote this MOOC is on our SharePoint site.

  • The second facilitated session of our English for Career Development MOOC starts April 3. Registration opens March 20. Graphic to promote this MOOC is on our SharePoint site.
