Thank you for watching this video! From 25th April 2022, we won’t be sharing any new content on this channel. We’d love for you to join us over at kzread.info for lots more English teaching and learning content.

A lot of good advice here, particularly for newish teachers. ‘Will’ versus ‘going to’ is by far the most asked question I have received in my 20 years teaching. Probably ‘have got’ versus ‘have’ and ‘have to’ versus ‘must’ would come after, in terms of grammar at least. That said, a lot of students in Japan will focus on minor and obscure grammar usage when asking questions. Deal with the question if you can, but don’t get sucked into lengthy discussions and debates.

Thank you for your priceless work. Since our linguistic course teacher Leo Selivan conducted a seminar based on your lecture in Cambridge, I have considered you to be one of the best educators, professionals. And I always watch your lectures and read published materials.

By the way, Penny Ur, a wonderful linguist, became my favourite teacher educator, when I came to Israel and continued my career as a teacher. It is a pleasant surprise for me that you work together!

Thank you for your story Ira! We're lucky to have lots of fantastic academics here at CUP and are glad that they have helped you in your role as a teacher!

Thank you for making these priceless talk series available... 🤗

“What does ‘would’ mean?” “Well, it’s the past form of ‘will’ but wait, what context is that?” “My table is made of wood” “Ah! Good job I asked.”

Well I am thankful and utterly grateful cause you haven't given up teaching at the time, cause it would have been truly a predicament for lots of language teachers ^^

One to one students ask me many questions. large groups almost never, but small groups do. So I believe it is more to do with the dynamics of the class as opposed to only the fact that the teacher is the main focus. Students are shyer to ask in big groups. You don't need lots of data to observe this

Thank you so much for this beneficial lecture. Thank you for making it available for us to learn and develop

他的这个，比其他好，很有条理，听了很有启发！谢谢
