The document provides instructions for classroom activities to teach students about the passive voice. It discusses recalling prior knowledge about the passive voice in pairs. It then presents a teacher presentation on when and how to use the passive voice, including using it for formal situations and when not mentioning the agent. Students are instructed to take notes on what they don't know. Finally, students watch a video about the passive voice and answer questions to wrap up the lesson.
Listen - The Gist is in the Detail IH WebinarChris Ożóg
Have you ever had a learner who has been taking classes for a while and yet still bemoans the fact that English speakers eat their words or that listening is too difficult? This is quite a common complaint and can lead to frustration for learners of even higher levels. But what can we, as teachers, do about it? How can we try to help them? We have listening in our lessons and the learners seem to get the majority of the questions right each time, so surely they are ok at listening, right? This webinar looks at why this might not actually be the case and what might be causing the learners' problems in the first place. We'll look at some aspects of listening that are often neglected in class, such as the importance of pronunciation and priming, before I suggest some activities and approaches to teaching listening that aim to help the learners develop their skills, rather than simply practice them.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLSMorteza Mohammadi
English has spread widely all over the world, first because of the influence of the British Empire and, second due to the pre-eminence of North American influence in the world. In Europe, English has advanced as an international language especially after World War II, leaving behind other preeminent languages such as French.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
