Breakout English Blog

Breakout English is all about making materials for exam preparation classes, but the Breakout English Blog is for when things don’t quite fit under the umbrella of materials. You’ll find information here about exams, but also about English language teaching in general.

There’s more to life than teaching exam classes, so the Breakout English blog brings you articles about making classes fun, error correction or even tools for teaching online. Take a look through the articles, leave a comment and enjoy!

Thanks for exploring the Breakout English blog

It takes time to write these articles and materials. We know it takes time to read them too, so thank you for spending your time on Breakout English. We’ve been in operation since September 2018 and since then the blog has grown substantially. Even though there may be some time between posts, the plan is to keep posting new materials as soon as time and inspiration allows.

If you like what you see, please follow us on Facebook and leave us comments and reviews. Getting feedback from our readers is one of the best ways to know if we’ve done something right.

What do you look for when you are teaching exam classes? What can we do to improve our articles? Whether it’s Cambridge exams, Trinity exams or another exam, what would you like to see more of? Would you like more tips and tricks to pass the exam? More communicative activities to engage your students? More full lesson plans? More transformations?

Finally, if you like using our free materials in class or to prepare for an exam, please consider purchasing one of our premium materials.
