Welcome to July on onestopclil! Summer’s here and the time is right for … focusing on project work, which is what Keith Kelly's editorial is all about. There are also plenty more summer school resources to keep your students amused.
Following on from the launch of the Interactive Atlas last month, we have a useful and versatile worksheet on Atlas language that works well in conjunction with the accompanying introduction and tips. Also, Carol Read’s Amazing world of animals project is into its fifth instalment and teaches children about life cycles.
Over on onestopenglish, our Business Spotlight lesson considers whether we should be specialists or generalists when choosing our career paths. Over in the kids’ corner, the latest Selections story is about a young inventor whose creations don’t always behave as they should and our M Tune for July is the proactive What People Like to Do.
Talking of which … would your school like to do an institutional subscription deal with onestopenglish? If your school gets on board with us in July, it will get a free Macmillan Practice Online course for fifteen students.
Finally, don’t forget to add all your onestopenglish resources to the Learning Calendar to help you organize all these fabulous teaching resources.

What is CLIL?
CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language. This can be by the English teacher using cross-curricular content or the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction. Both methods result in the simultaneous learning of content and English. -

Project: Amazing world of animals
The Amazing world of animals, by Carol Read, is a project for Young Learners, designed to simultaneously build up learners’ language skills and knowledge of the animal kingdom. The project is divided into six lessons and leads to a final outcome of children creating a group e-zine/magazine with the title ‘Amazing world of animals’. In each lesson, children find out about different aspects of the animal world and produce a piece of work to include in their e-zine/magazine. -
