In English is a magazine published by the British Council in Portugal for teachers of English. The magazine was originally launched in December 1979 under the name of the Newsletter. It then became the Journal, and then in Autumn 2002 took on a new look and a new name - In English.

Most of the articles are written by British Council teachers and others by guest writers, including well known names in the world of ELT. We always welcome contributions from all ELT professionals who are interested in sharing their ideas and expertise with teachers of English in Portugal. The magazine is mainly directed at state school teachers of English: indeed the magazine started life as a joint venture with the Direcções Gerais do Ensino Básico e Ensino Secundário. It has also spawned a book: At the Chalkface (Edward Arnold, 1985).

We publish In English twice a year, in the spring and the autumn and the magazine is distributed free of charge. You can also access many of the articles from back issues here on the website.

We regret we cannot publish all the articles here as many are dependent on graphics that cannot be seen over the web. Where this is the case we will try later to provide pdf versions.

If case of any queries, please contact Lynn Wilson.
