English for Teachers
If you are an English language teacher or language assistant, we can support your work through workshops and courses, online resources including professional forums, networks and teaching materials.

We cordially invite English teachers to join us live online, on Wednesday 19 December, 1800 - 2045 GMT. Join us at this special event for:

  • An audience with Lucinda Dickens Hawksley and the chance to ask your questions about how her great-great-great grandfather contributed to what we know as the English Language today.
  • A short workshop on teaching Dickens in the classroom, with Chris Lima.
  • A message from Jeremy Harmer (virtually) on why he thinks Dickens is so special.
  • Voices from around the world on how Dickens continues to inspire readers, from Argentina to Croatia.
  • A Dickensian-themed Christmas reception.

This event will also include a Q&A from the floor and via Twitter #DickensLive.

The British Council are also proud to launch our Dickens 2012 teaching materials. Book your place now to be first to receive the free materials.

Tune in to Twitter and Teaching English from Friday 7 December to count down twelve Dickensian days of Christmas with: blog posts from Dickens enthusiasts, facts about Dickens' life and work, free resources for taking Dickens into the classroom and competitions to win Dickens graded readers, DVDs and more.

This event will also be streamed live online. Please register to attend virtually here.
