International celebration of the life and work of Charles Dickens
Dickens 2012 is an international celebration of the life and work of Charles Dickens to mark the bicentenary of his birth, which falls on 7 February 2012. Institutions and organisations from all over the world are partners of Dickens 2012 and work together to deliver a programme of events and activities to commemorate this very special anniversary.
The richly imagined novels that Dickens wrote combine both the realistic with the allegorical and do so to powerful effect. Dickens was a writer who knew the power of the word and the power of fiction to express the hopes and dreams, fears and frustrations of life as we live it, in our own hearts and minds and in our relationships with others.
DICKENS BICENTENARY IN SERBIA
We are pleased to invite the secondary schools in Serbia to participate in Writing Competition. The goal of the competition is to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens's birth in Serbia.

Speaking and Writing – Exam Preparation and Assessment
OUP Global Webinar, 24th November 2011
There are plenty of basic areas to be tackled too in preparing our students – making sure they understand and answer the question, are as accurate as possible, and have the techniques for planning and managing their time. And, of course, they'll need the confidence to perform on their own, without you there to coach and prompt them!
In this online seminar we'll look at how to make the most of the material and features available as part of the exams preparation packages from Oxford. In particular, making sure students get enough practice both in and out of class, the benefits of using the online 'Speak and Record' function and the ability to submit and redraft writing tasks.

This is Jasmina’s first Teacher’s seminar as a presenter, but she is natural, whereas Marija has the presenting virus ever since British Council's YETI programme. They both work in secondary schools but have experience with teaching young learners as well. They believe in sharing and are both active in ELTA.

Ako tražite posao poslednjih nekoliko godina, možda vam se desilo da ste postepeno izgubili strpljenje, zapitali se o svojim sposobnostima ili čak posumnjali u kvalitet svog obrazovanja. U rukama držite diplomu koja govori da ste završili jedno, a u oglasu se traži nešto sasvim drugo. Kako zaista izgleda obrazovanje trenutno, a šta je potrebno da naučimo za budućnost? Formalno obrazovanje više nije dovoljno. Kako odgovoriti na savremene potrebe i koje su nam sve veštine neophodne da bismo živeli i radili u eri znanja?

Dešavanja u Američkom Kutku u Kragujevcu tokom novembra.
U nedelju, 13. novembra, u prostoru galerije Narodne biblioteke ,,Vuk Karadžić” održaće se koncert duvačkog kvinteta BRASS SENSE iz Beograda, pod nazivom VEČE AMERIČKE MUZIKE. Na programu su dela Artura Frakenpola, Bilija Strejhorna, Irvinga Berlina, Djuka Elingtona i Leonarda Bernštajna. Brass Sense Quintet čine muzičari beogradskih orkestara, koje je okupila želja za zajedničkim muziciranjem i negovanjem karakterističnog zvuka limenog duvačkog kvinteta. Osnovan je početkom 2010. godine.
Organizaciju koncerta omogućila je Kancelarija za medije i kulturu Američke ambasade u Beogradu. Koncert počinje u 18 časova. Ulaz je slobodan.
- U ponedeljak, 14. novembra u 17 časova, organizujemo druženje sa predstavnicima agencije za kulturnu razmenu AYUSA.
Studenti će imati priliku da saznaju nesto više o programu Work&Travel koji se odnosi na sezonske poslove u Americi,
Au Pair programu koji traje godinu dana i podrazumeva čuvanje dece u američkim porodicama kao i o programu stručne prakse u Americi.
Organizacija Ayusa uspešno posluje od 1989. godine i svi programi su podržani od strane američkog Stejt Department-a. Ayusa se isključivo bavi obrazovnim programima razmene jer verujemo da je obrazovanje najbolja investicija. Veliki broj učenika i studenata boravio je u Americi na nekom od naših programa, usavršio engleski jezik, stekao dragoceno iskustvo, dokazao se u novoj sredini i spoznao svoje sposobnosti.

Google+: The Complete Guide
What Is Google+?
Google+ is the search giant’s latest attempt to create a social network that rivals Facebook. Google launched Google+ on June 28, 2011 with a private beta. The project was led by Vic Gundotra, Google’s SVP of social.
The social network is a collection of different social products. These features include Stream (a newsfeed), Sparks (a recommendation engine), Hangouts (a video chat service), Huddle (a group texting service), Circles (a friend management service) and Photos. We explain all of these features later in this guide. More features such as Games and Questions are expected to launch in the near future.
Google chose the name Google+ because it wants Google+ to be “an extension of Google itself,” Gundotra explained to Mashable days before the launch. It’s designed to be an improvement to all of Google, which is why the company also decided to change the iconic Google navigation bar to include a link to a user’s Google+ profile, as well as a new icon that displays how many notifications a user has received, much like how Facebook handles notifications.
This isn’t Google’s first shot at dominating the social space. It has a long history in social media, including Orkut and its biggest success in social, YouTube. However, it’s had two very big flops in social: Google Waveand Google Buzz.
So, without further ado, here is Mashable‘s complete guide to Google+: Click here.7/27/2011

Onestopenglish: Brighten up your summer!
While for many people summer is a time to relax, we know that the summer months can be the busiest of the year for English language teachers: between long breaks, short courses and new classes, it can be challenging to find fun and stimulating materials to bring into the classroom.
The onestopenglish team is here to help! Start exploring the resources below to find answers to all your summer teaching dilemmas ..
Your English: Phrasal verbs: in the news - With more details coming out and the story showing no signs of dying down, Tim Bowen looks at phrasal verbs in the news – in particular, the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.
General: holiday English courses - Many teachers do summer work teaching on short intensive courses. Such courses often have more of a holiday atmosphere than normal classes and teachers may look for jollier, summery activities. Here are a few birght and crazy ideas.
Grammar: differences between could and can - An article discussing the differences between 'could' and 'can' when expressing possibility.
Monthly news lesson: Greece: ‘Only tourism can save our bankrupt land’ - As Greece faces up to bankruptcy, the nation’s politicians are pinning their hopes on tourism to rescue it from economic collapse. But can the country that has been promoted as a cheap mass travel destination rebrand itself as a paradise of myths, mountains and monuments?
