      Hello people!

      I was thinking, since the methods of teaching is always changing I would like to know from you : How can teachers work a lesson of a book without making this an excuse for them to teach grammar ?

      Unfortunately, most of the teachers don't really know how to "survive" without the methods.

Unless things change......

      1) Sometimes books are designed for practising listening skills, speaking skills, etc.  But even then teachers 'teach grammar'.  How can teachers use the book as intended to focus on skills and development instead of turning it into a grammar lesson?

      2) Sometimes books are designed around grammar points.  Teachers need to and want to help their students practise and develop skills, but don't know how to do it when the books are all about grammar.  How can teachers do what they intend and focus on skills and development instead of following the book to closely and ending up focusing on grammar?

      3) Something completely different...
