Welcome to our June Newsletter.
|
This month, we are excited to share something a little different. We have been developing a discovery-based lesson to help students explore the key differences between British and American English in terms of vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation. This lesson provides clear explanations across all three areas and includes a range of engaging practice activities to reinforce learning.
|
Free lesson: There is a video with free accompanying worksheet (see worksheet link).

|
2) Spelling: colour (BrE) vs. color (AmE) & organise (BrE) vs. organize (AmE)
|
•Stress: advertisement /ədˈvɜː.tɪs.mənt/ (BrE) /æd.vɚ.’taɪz.mənt/ (AmE)
