In response to The ESL instructor: animal, vegetable, or ... BS artist? (The Arrogant One)
Hello O Arrogant one!
The last time I took my red elementary grammar book into class in Korea,........well what a reaction! The students hated it and said it was like a test.
I wasn't allowed to use it after that. It was officially banned.
Then we had to focus more on conversation.
In an indirect way I am saying to you-don't worry so much about the mistakes in writing on this board, because the esl schools are wanting charismatic easy go lucky conversationalists more than
up-tight-anal-retentive teachers who are perfectionsists.
Beatrix the beautiful....
