Avoiding terminologyCoursebooks and supplementary materials use a lot of grammar terminology but I try to be cautious about what I use in the class. For example, my learners get confused by the ‘present simple’ which doesn’t just refer to the present. |

Being a teacherThe latest in our series of video tips is about being a teacher. What's important to you as a teacher? How do your students see you? |
