Best Young Adult Novels, Best Teen Fiction, Top 100 Teen Novels It's almost a cliche at this point to say that teen fiction isn't just for teens anymore. Just last year, the Association of American Publishers ranked Children's/Young Adult books as the single fastest-growing publishing category. Which is why we were only a little surprised to see the tremendous response that came in for this summer's Best-Ever Teen Fiction poll. And now, the final results are in. Selecting a manageable voting roster from among the more than 1,200 nominations that came in from readers wasn't easy, and we were happy to be able to rely on such an experienced panel of judges. Summer, like youth, is fleeting.
10 Best Free Listening Websites with Quizzes to Practise for Listening Exams So what do you do to practise listening for exams? Growing up, I never had the opportunity to do any extra practice to improve my listening skills. We didn’t have the Internet and the thousand possibilities it offers to learners of any language nowadays. The teachers had an old tape player that sometimes stopped and started on its own and old tapes that ended up sounding distorted and most of the times unlistenable so if you wanted to get better at listening, you just listened to the radio and struggled to understand the lyrics and sing along. Not that I ever complained. So, exams are just around the corner and I know you’re beginning to freak out. These are, in my opinion, the best sites with quizzes to practise listening comprehension.

Big Bang Theory Graphic Organizer by Creativity Meets Cognition This "sketch-notes" style graphic organizer is a great way to introduce or review the Big Bang Theory. It is a great way to organize main ideas about the theory of expansion and help visual learners make connections through drawings and comic book style note taking. I have found that these graphic organizers work very well for SPED and ELL students but your general ed. students will enjoy them as well. These fun notes are a great addition to any interactive notebook!

physique chimie - ressources numériques en langue étrangère et cultures numériques (TraAM physique-chimie) Les Travaux Académiques Mutualisés (TraAM) mis en place par le Ministère proposent chaque année aux académies des thèmes de travail communs dans le cadre du développement des usages des TICE.Pour l'année scolaire 2014-2015, les thèmes retenus au plan national pour les TraAM étaient : - comment exploiter des ressources numériques en langue étrangère dans l'enseignement de la physique chimie ? ;- cultures numériques, éducation aux médias et à l’information dans l’enseignement de la physique-chimie.

Podcasts to help English learners practise listening Do your students want more listening practice? Aoife McLoughlin, blogger with ELT-Connect.com and latest winner of the British Council's Teaching English blog award, recommends five podcasts to get them started. Do you spend enough time working on listening skills with your students? Is there ever enough time? In my experience, I would say no. Often, when we ask students what part of their English they most want to improve, they will say listening and speaking. But we often give less attention to the receptive skill of listening, perhaps in the belief that 'if you can do it alone, you can do it at home'. Podcasts are a great way for students to improve their listening on the go. With such a huge selection available, students are bound to find a podcast they are interested in that suits their needs. Here are my top five podcasts for learners of English: Englishclass101.com This is much more than a podcast. TED audio podcasts Podcastsinenglish.com IELTSpodcast.com Downtobusinessenglish.com
Enigma, la guerre du code Depuis quelques temps, le commandement militaire allemand utilise pour protéger ses communications les machines Enigma, créées d’abord à des fins de secret économique. Ces machines proposent des possibilités de chiffrement vertigineuses. Faute de pouvoir en percer la combinaison, les Alliés sont incapables de déchiffrer les messages qu’ils interceptent. En temps de guerre l’information est vitale : déchiffrer les communications ennemies permettrait de connaître les attaques projetées, les positions des unités adverses etc. Il ne suffisait pas aux Britanniques de mettre la main sur une machine. S’engage, dès septembre 1939, une titanesque entreprise de cassage des codes allemands, une lutte contre la montre d’autant plus décourageante que chaque matin, les clés de chiffrement sont modifiées. L'idée qui va s'imposer à Turing c'est qu'on peut avoir les meilleurs mathématiciens, les meilleurs génies de notre temps, on ne pourra jamais, avec une réflexion humaine, se battre cette machine.
