Hello All,
For those of you who teach beginners, there's a new site called News For Beginners. http://www.newsforbeginners.com
It has news articles about politics, war, fashion and movies which are written in really simple English so that beginner students have something to read besides boring textbooks. The students can use the website by themselves or read it with a teacher.
There are no phrasal verbs, conditionals or difficult expressions in the articles. Questions at the end of the article are provided so that teachers can test their understanding. These questions aren't meant to strike up a conversation.
There are other good websites that do this kind of thing and even in more detail but those websites aren't for beginners. Check it out.
