Suitable for advanced EFL students and teachers, and frequently included in GCSE and IGCSE Literature text lists.
Our four-part series on this work by one of the most important and influential feminist literary voices is for students, teachers and advanced users of English. This text, widely regarded as one of the most significant twentieth-centiury essays and which should be read and discussed by all, is also suitable for Cambridge and IB Language, Literature and Lang&Lit programmes.

Children generally begin learning to write in the Early Years (known in EFL as Very Young Learners and elsewhere as Early Childhood and/or PreSchool) or in the first grades of Lower Primary (known variously as Reception, Infant School and even Grammar School). However, writing at this level is not so much writing (composition) as it is writing (handwriting) and so should be seen by educators as a combination of fine-motor development with emerging literacy and numeracy rather than as language acquisition and development.
Using a worked example, join us as we review a quick-and-easy structure and approach for producing a news report (as distinct from an "article").
If you enjoyed our introductory / middle school / B1 - B2 session on editing and profreading, you'll love this Advanced session. This easily replicable model is ready-to-use, plug-and-play, student-centred and at the same time, a great personal challenge for teachers.
