Hi Hania it was good to hear back from you last week. We have another update for HLT. Ready to Run’s new topical video-led lesson packages with YouTubers launched last month with an A2 item on lockdown. The next episode is now available: at B1+ our resident vlogger Ben explores the language of feelings and emotions as he reports on his state of mind during the epidemic. The lesson packs for teachers and learners are optimised for online teaching, and develop all four language skills with the focus on generating adjectives from nouns.
We offer these Covid-related videos and teaching packages free to teachers on a worldwide basis with no need to sign up - here is the link to the free open access video. You are welcome to share it as widely as you like on any of your platforms or communications. You can read more about this episode and the Here-and-Now ELT resources from Ready to Run, at our Press Release. Best wishes and stay safe Stephen
