Book Day : Discovering Shakespeare and Cervantes Through Speaking



If you are looking for engaging ways to combine culture and communication in your English lessons, these two resources are designed to do exactly that. Focused on the lives of William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, they move beyond passive reading and place students at the centre of the learning process.

In both activities, learners work collaboratively: each student holds different pieces of information and must ask their partner questions to complete the full picture. This information gap approach promotes real interaction, encourages the use of meaningful questions, and reinforces key biographical content in a dynamic way.

Ideal for A2–B1 levels, these materials integrate culture, speaking practice, and cooperative learning—making literature more accessible and communicative in the classroom.

13th SEPTEMBER : ROALD DAHL DAY

Roald Dahl

Today, we celebrate the birth of one of the most famous children's storytellers in the English language. He left behind timeless stories that we have read and that have been adapted for the big screen. Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Danny, the Champion of the World are just a few examples of how his tales help children teach adults to see the world with fresh eyes, often leading to unexpected endings. In addition to his stories, he also wrote poetry. In Revolting Rhymes, he retold six classic fairy tales: Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Three Little Pigs.

Here is a resource to celebrate his birthday.
