Summary
In this week's episode, we're doing an in-depth review of teaching skills lessons, starting with how they differ from systems (grammar and vocabulary) lessons. It's tempting to think that every lesson should involve teaching students new words and grammatical structures, but it's equally important to focus on developing students' skills: reading and listening comprehension and speaking and writing fluency. So we're discussing strategies for teaching skills in the classroom.
