Dr Jeff McQuillan's podcast is absolutely the best.

Great, Jeff McQuillan taking IZ TTC participants' questions on February 22, 2022. Veru useful for English teacher 💕

So useful for any English teacher!

This is great. Really enjoyed it. At about 47:30, you talked about bringing up grammar points after doing a reading. Shouldn't the discussion be meaning-based, as opposed to form-based? Won't it bore students and give them the idea that reading is to acquire grammar instead of reading for meaning and pleasure?

i have ADHT i can't follow along with topics for long time i get bored and i change the subject or content but DR.Jeff who only the one who able to capture my attention for long time like those webinars please we need a lot presentations from Dr jeff .. and finely my question is what do you think DR.Jeef about using flashcards to memorize the vocabularies is that kind of conscious knowledge it's not unconscious knowledge so it doesn't help to acquire the language ?

Same here my friend!

Thank you for this presentation. Super information. At about 48:30, it seems like you are advocating teaching vocabulary in theme-based units, such as seasons, months, weather, etc. Doesn't the research show that the students retain things better when they are taught things randomly and in context, rather than in thematic units? The way vocabulary is acquired in reading and listening? Do you agree with teaching in thematic units or not and what is your basis for your belief?
