HUMAN BINGO | ELT-CATION
It’s said that once one player got so excited that he’d won, he cried “Bingo” instead of “Beano”. The name stuck. Acknowledgement: No, I have not invented this game. No, (here goes any name of a Dumbledore in ELT you’d kindly suggest), they have not been the first to use this game as an educational tool. And no, I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Before the game: make a list of 15 questions that you’d ask your students. E.g. if you’d like to focus on tense review, these tense review questions could be handy Alternatively, get your students to come up with questions they would ask someone they meet for the first time/haven’t seen for ages/ at the interview/ etc. – Specify there should be no ‘yes-no’ questions. Step 1. Hand out a sheet of A4 paper to each student. Step 2. Ask your students to write down an answer to the first question in any square. Step 3. Happy teaching!

More than a century after first emerging into the fogbound, gaslit streets of Victorian London, Sherlock Holmes is universally recognizable. 2. What makes a book a book? 3. Reading and stories can be an escape from real life, a window into another world — but have you ever considered how new fictional experiences might change your perspective on real, everyday life? 4. In ‘The Pangaea Pop-up’ Lesson, animator Biljana Labovic decided the best way to illustrate moving, shifting tectonic plates was to use a physical object that could also move and shift. 5. Writing a great English paper can be tough because literature doesn’t always reveal its deeper meanings immediately.
Oxford City Council praised for introducing gender neutral 'MX' title on paperwork
One of the country’s biggest councils has been praised for introducing gender neutral titles on forms. Oxford City Council told The Independent it has approved plans to include ‘Mx’ as an option on paperwork, alongside traditional terms such as Miss, Ms, Mrs and Mr. The change was made following recommendations from the council’s Equality and Diversity Group as a means of making the council more trans-inclusive; including non-binary people who can prefer the ‘Mx’ title as it does not denote a gender. Councillor Tom Haynes, Vice-Chair of Oxford City Council Scrutiny Committee told The Independent: “The council’s workforce has been changing to look more like the diverse communities that it serves. Good policies have helped to bring this about and tackle discrimination but further improvements are possible. LGBT advocates have welcomed the move and say they hope it helps encourage other councils and institutions to embrace the ‘Mx’ title. Reuse content
