Beyond language
Learning a foreign language is just one aspect of learning to communicate with other nationalities. English is well established as the language of international business, but, when we travel and meet people from different backgrounds we find that linguistic obstacles are not the only barriers to understanding.

Games for the English language classroom
The great advantage of games is that students become so engaged in the activity that they use the target language spontaneously. It's amazing what strategies they can find within themselves to put their ideas across, even if their knowledge is limited. I use a range of games for a variety of purposes, but I'd like to share these with you.<p>

Negative Thoughts
Forming negatives is a largely rule-bound, mechanical manoeuvre and is thus is easy to teach and to test. Underlying this concern with how to form negatives is, it seems to me, the belief that negatives are used basically as reactions - in the answers to questions or in order to contradict a statement. I wish to raise here the issue of negatives used in preference to a positive declaration.

The great grammar debate
When second languages were taught by the grammar/translation method, everyone seemed fairly clear about what should be taught and in what order. Verbs in all their complexity dominated the scene and conjugations and inflections were learnt by rote. The result was that language learners understood a good deal about how the target language was constructed but had little idea of how it was pronounced or used in ordinary conversation.

Using Questionnaires in Language Teaching
The communicative and humanistic approaches to language training have shown us the importance of setting up genuine dialogue between learner and trainer and among learners themselves. When, as trainers, we ask a series of questions in the manner of quiz masters, where we know the answer and watch while the learner struggles to find something acceptable to us, we cannot claim to be setting up genuine dialogue; it is an unequal power game.

Issues in Teaching Vocabulary
As far as trends in ELT are concerned, the nineties were the decade of the lexical approach. There were three issues that led to this concentration on the lexical element in language. One was a recognition coming out of the communicative approach, that to be understood speakers of a second language did not need to produce grammatically perfect sentences.

Listening Skills and the Internet
the majority of students develop reading and writing skills before those of listening and speaking. This is, of course, in direct opposition to the way in which we acquire our first language. As a result of this topsy-turvy approach, the non-native speaker arriving for the first time in an Anglophone country often finds the language s/he hears all around completely incomprehensible. And to add insult to confusion, this same non-native speaker finds that no-one can understand his or her version of the English language either.
