Here’s where you’ll find loads of free English and foreign language teaching resources and ideas, whether you need listening or speaking practice for your students, or you’re just looking for a bit of fun to liven things up in class!

Our resources are contributed by teachers from all over the world – but we like to give as well as take, so please share your own teaching activities here too – if you’re chosen as our resource of the week, you could win one of our special prizes!

Place Hacking London's Shard

Resources for English language teaching, focussing on the newly-built London Shard, shared by Mura Nava, featuring reading, speaking and vocabulary activities.

As of December 2011, the Shard claimed the title of ‘tallest building in the European Union', stretching 310 meters into the clouds from London Bridge. It has also been said that is it the most secure site in the city outside of the 2012 Olympic Park (source: Computerworld)

HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

Our Featured Resource this week has also been included in our multi-lingual collection of teaching resources for the Olympics.  If you have something you could contribute to our Olympic page, in any language, please let us know!

We liked these French resources looking at questioning skills developed by Sarah Taylor – two items that go together are a PowerPoint presentation and reading activity.

Do you know of a colleague who you think should know about The LanguagePoint?  We’d love to have 400 teachers registered on the site – if we can achieve that by 18 May then we’ll select two of those users to receive a prize.
