Use The English Wire with your class
Every lesson is built from a real news story and comes in two formats: a printable worksheet and an interactive online version. Everything is free.
Printable PDF
Every lesson has a printable PDF with teacher's notes and an answer key. Download it from the lesson page and print as many copies as you need.
Interactive version
Every lesson also has an interactive version with vocabulary, listening, reading, questions, grammar and practice. Students get instant feedback, there is no sign-up, and their progress is saved automatically on their device.
New lessons every day
New lessons are published every day at four levels: A2/B1, B1, B2 and C1. Each lesson is one story at one level, so choose the level that suits your class.
Teaching teenagers? The Teens section has a new lesson every day for students aged 12–16.
