Monthly Teacher's Guide

Easy English NEWS' headquarters didn't escape the snow and frigid air. If you called and didn't get an answer for days, it's because no one could get to the office. We had to wait until the snow and ice on our residential streets melted before we could venture out safely.

Hi, Happy New Year! If you're not already signed up for our monthly email, do it for the great features coming up. We've spent four months field-testing our digital edition, and wow!

Greetings and happy holidays! Many teachers and students told us they are thrilled with the digital edition of Easy English NEWS. It's still free in December, and we're hoping you'll try it before we have to start charging for it.

How I hate the front page story! It was depressing to research it and keep my eyes and ears tuned to the news. But North Korea and its threats and the U.S.'s counter threats don't seem to disappear. Our older students need to know something of the tensions, background, and locations of the problems. (I'd skip this article for younger students. You be the judge.) And remember: Easy English NEWS does not have reporters on the scene, and can only provide second-hand information. We refrain from judgment as we cannot ascertain the truth, only the structures and vocabulary for talking about an issue.
