The textbook is already assigned to each grade level and the teachers picking them know the good and bad of them. They are also used year after year and of course differ from school to school. Though the textbooks may be different the lessons are similar in a lot of ways. Maybe not the...  [Read more]

Teachers should use both authentic materials (genuine English language...  [Read more]
