At
some point in our teaching practice, we may have wondered if we are teaching our
students everything they should know in terms of English as a Foreign Language.
Frequently, it seems that we have to follow a very strict layout of a course
due to our institution’s impetus to achieve the set objectives. But, are we
really teaching them all that students should know considering their
level? Are there any things that we could
be missing?
In
this new series we are about to launch, our team of researchers will share some
insights about the teaching of Listening, Writing, Reading and Vocabulary. We
are sure their reflections on these topics will be food for thought and may
imply some changes in our teaching daily practice.
Look
forward to the first post next week and to your appreciated feedback!
