Compulsory ‘non-academic’ writing

Even where the key aim of a course is writing, it is important to find a dynamic way of presenting and practising language. Using authentic platforms can be beneficial if the course is well managed.

The book I always refer to

The book encourages teachers to be aware of their own impact in the classroom. This is the biggest driver of success. The author covers numerous areas of teaching and learning activity, including motivation, behaviour and strategies.
