In response to "only Oral teaching" (Silver Star)

Of course, you as a non-native English speaker probably have poor pronunciation of English, just like most Chinese teachers of English. That aside, you do not have full cultural awareness of any country whose first language is English. You are not required by Chinese employers to teach oral English. You are not qualified to denigrate oral English teaching. Many Chinese jobs for FTs exist for native speakers of English. Even if a foreigner is a native speaker of English, that doesn't necessarily mean he/she will be a good teacher - that will depend on how good his/her pronunciation is as well as his/her teaching skills and classroom management. You don't half post a lot of tripe on this board.

Pronunciation is everything, it's all important. A grease-monkey mechanic with good pronunciation would be worth ten degree teachers with bad pronunciation. That said we don't know that Turnoi has bad pronunciation do we? I imagine by looking at his writing and knowing something of his credentials he's word-perfect.
