Discover a simple and efficient way to motivate your students during English classes.

What is a Mini-theme?

A Mini-theme is a selection of four resources on different topics:

1 Animation
1 Still graphic
1 Video
1 Article

Mini themes allow teachers to work on different linguistic skills, such as written and oral expression, language comprehension and grammar. Mini themes are an excellent source for creating debates or team projects for students, etc.

4 good reasons why to use Mini themes in your English class:

1. To motivate your students and gain their attention during class.
2. To encourage students in expressing their own opinion thanks to debates you can create with four multimedia resources.
3. To build a positive relationship among students while collaborating on team projects.
4. To be able to practice different linguistic skills and social language use at the same time.

The team of Educaingles is delighted to announce the new, improved and faster version of our website.

What has changed?

The new image of the website will give you a better look of the educational resources or pedagogical activities we offer to help all the English teachers.

As you know, our goal is to make a teacher´s life easier and also to introduce teacher new technologies for a class. For this reason we created an advanced search with 10 filters.

This way all English teachers (CLIL or EFL) can find very quickly the exact type of a resource they need for their class. This new and quick search will give them additional information about the resource type for example: if it´s a part of a mini theme, if there is a lesson plan or website exercise created with this resource etc. With a new search all teachers can save a huge amount of time which can be dedicated to their students or different activities.

The team of Educaingles has been constantly gathering different resources selected according to a new criteria: culture, different English accents, world’s heritages, famous people, country briefs, cultures and many more. This is another unique approach to the advanced search of our resources which guaranties interest, diversity and also allows teachers to create their own mini themes.
