Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens. You've probably noticed that we've been celebrating this landmark with a series of materials (and now a blog too) on TeachingEnglish.
On Thursday 9 February, you will also be able to watch our special British Council event, Bent and broken into a better shape: the magical storytelling of Charles Dickens, with Jeremy Harmer and Steve Bingham. They will bring Dickens' writing to life through readings and music, in a show designed especially (but not exclusively) for teachers and students of international English.
You can follow the event live at www.teachingenglish.org.uk/dickens from 1845 UK time on Thursday.
