Multicultural Britain

Multicultural Britain

Britain is a very multi-cultural place. I love it.  The early part of my teaching career was based just outside the old East End of London. I loved learning about the different cultures, markets, carnivals and other festivals alongside the children. Yesterday's post on Petticoat Lane illustrated the multicultural aspects of London. I originally came from Manchester/Liverpool and was brought up with markets, culture and traditions.

This resource fits into the theme that I currently seem to be following. I am posting these resources as they are in a context and allow you to revise grammatical and vocabulary aspects of your TEFL learning as you go along.  Enjoy!
