Seminar International English
The launch of our new textbook for International English, E2, gives us the privilege and pleasure of inviting English teachers to a seminar in Oslo.
Samantha Simmonds, former journalist with the BBC and news anchor at Sky News, will shed light on Trump’s strategy of branding certain news outlets as “fake news”. She will also compare and contrast CNN and Fox News in particular, and TV news in the UK and US in general.
Moreover, we will present E2 and share useful tips on teaching International English.
