Heads Up English is simply the best resource on the web for English teachers and (I'm sure) students alike. I have used much of the material here for nigh on ten years and it has yet to let me down. 3 cheers then for Chris Cotter and his fantastic site. Long may it continue!

Thank you for the 101 Pre-Lesson Grammar Worksheets! We don't use a textbook at my school, so these worksheets are exactly what I need for my classes to get a good foundation in grammar. Keep up the good work!

'Better Language Teaching' is very useful to me, as I am currently studying English Education. There have not been many ELT books where I can get practical English teaching tips. I think this book is very useful especially to students who are training to be future English teachers, as public or private high / middle schools in Korea have adopted practical teaching rehearsal as a mandatory test to assess teachers' real teaching skills. But I also believe this books will be valuable source of great tips for current English teachers & other ELT professionals!

Chris, Thank you for sharing so many ideas in Better Language Teaching. Your wealth of experience, knowledge and passion for this field comes through in every part of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in re-igniting their enthusiasm for ESL teaching, anyone starting out in the field or anyone that wants to better the classroom experience for their students. Thanks again Chris!

I have found the newsletter very interesting as I have taught in schools in three countries in southern Africa and for the 12 years, prior to settling in the UK, I presented Plain Language in public seminars, and training sessions to government and commerce where there were many delegates for whom English was not their home language. I conducted one-on-one spoken English to business people in South Africa, and to German students and professionals, spending 3 months in Berlin training a couple in business English. At present I am hoping to start training again, so your tips are most useful, Chris.

I teach an advanced level English class at a public adult school, and my students enjoy all of the activities from the Chris's website, Heads Up English. We often use the news articles, and I love the way the vocabulary is practiced in various ways throughout the lesson, and also the chance to practice all four major skills. I have also used some of the mini-lessons and the skill builders, which are very well done. Better Language Teaching is filled with helpful insights, too. This is my tenth year teaching English, but I still find inspiration in the materials developed by Chris. Thank you so much for this amazing service!

I'm settling down in Spain and, having taught English in my home country (Malta) for a couple of summers, I found that teaching English is a good job opportunity in this country. So I suddenly found myself a freelance teacher, giving private lessons, mostly one-to-one, and mostly conversation. A few of my one-to-one students are PhD students who need to improve their spoken English, so it's quite challenging to prepare classes for them and having no resources except the internet! I just wanted to say: Many, many thanks for putting your resources online.

Hi Chris!! My name is Maritza, I am from Nicaragua and let me tell you that you have given me a lot of ideas how to teach in my classes. Every last Friday of the month teachers in Nicaragua have workshops. I always talk about your materials and I share your ideas with them. Teachers are very grateful because they have put them in practice with their students, and they have learnt a lot about motivation. The activities are very varied and well organized. I appreciate your time for helping me with your great ideas. Even in my country we don't have materials neither books, and I am trying to do the best for my students. Thanks a lot!

I love everything you prepare for us; all the material is very useful for me: The excellent step-by-step lesson procedures help me carry out the activities, (although I sometimes change the order of the overall procedures and adapt it to my teaching style). Activities are varied, well organized, balanced and appropriate. They help me to improve my teaching performance. The themes for speaking are very useful for my students. Thank you very much!!!

I would like to tell you about the information you send me in the Newsletter. That´s very pleasant for me, because I have inspiration for my classes. I´m from the Czech Republic and I studied teaching English at the pedagogical University in Brno. We had nice methodology seminars, but that´s ten years ago and I have to say that I can´t remember all the tips and ideas now. So that´s very good for me to be able to read your teaching tips, because many times it reminds me on some other activities that I´ve forgotten. I think I´m quite a creative teacher and I like fresh English lessons, not just full of routine work, grammar and vocabulary structures, but filled with new activities that like not only my pupils but also me. So, I would like to say thank you for all your tips and ideas, they are very well to use and to modify to other situation, too:-) Have a nice day!

I have been using the materials at the intermediate level for over a year. The topics enable great conversations and I notice the students' language improves when they express opinions and emotions. Chris' topics are interesting and topical and relevant to my students. I am very grateful to be able to use lessons prepared by Chris. My students and I benefit greatly.

Hi Chris, I'd like to say that your website is extremely useful. I particularly like 'Better Language Teaching' and recommend this and the website as a whole to my CELTA trainees because sound teaching ideas are presented. These are not only useful to new teachers, but also to those who are experienced.

This is a fantastic resource for new and experienced teachers alike. Chris takes you through lesson planning stage by stage in his unique style. He gets you to stop and think about what you want to achieve in a lesson; and shows you how you can most effectively involve your students in that objective. He provides adaptable activities for each stage (and all levels), to help reinforce your objective. This e-book has become my bible.
