Teaching English is produced by the British Council with content and editorial support from the British Broadcasting Corporation. Both organisations receive funding from the UK government for their work in promoting English, supporting English language teaching (ELT) and providing information and access to ELT products, services and expertise from the UK. The Teaching English project is non-commercial and as such all content and material on the site is free to access.As part of a pilot project, the site also features a variety of teaching materials produced by selected UK publishers.This site is divided into four main sections which mirror the purposes described above:
- THINK: where you can find teachers’ articles on different aspects of teaching, from classroom practice to learning theory
- TRY: where you can find lesson plans, quizzes, ideas for activities and other materials which you can download to use in class
- TALK: where you can keep you own personal blog, join discussion forums and and form groups around particular areas of interest.
- TRANSFORM: where teachers can can get help and advice on their professional development (training, qualifications, personal development, specialist areas, etc) and policy makers can find information about the products and consultancy services that the British Council can offer from the ELT constituency in the UK.

Since its launch on 21 April 2000, englishteaching.co.uk (aka fretweb) has become one of the UK’s premiere online resources for Teachers of English Language and Literature at secondary level.englishteaching.co.uk provides and publishes editable and printable teaching resources, worksheets, lesson plans and schemes of work. All materials are developed and produced by practising subject specialists and, as an online resource, englishteaching.co.uk’s collection of materials is ever-expanding.
As a busy, practising teacher, Chantel Mathias, (the site’s founder and editor), realised the potential of the Internet in creating an online cooperative for busy classroom teachers. Teaching colleagues throughout the UK similarly realised this potential and the sharing and cooperation was huge. It is this same sprit of sharing and professionalism that remains central to our subscription-based site and the pioneering £ARN + LEARN scheme today.
From April 2000 to December 2001, the site was designed, maintained, funded and edited solely by Chantel Mathias but the idea behind FRETWEB steadily came to fruition thanks to the excellent teaching resources, lesson plans and schemes of work submitted for publication by FRETWEB’s generous contributors.
As of January 2002, access to FRETWEB’s Secure Site was by subscription. At the same time, FRETWEB’s new and exciting £ARN + LEARN scheme was launched. Our ethos of sharing remains central to this scheme: teachers produce and share their resources and talents and we share the site’s subscription income in the form of a no nonsense, upfront fee.
