Description
The text reflects on a shift in language teaching towards student-centered, awareness-based learning. It introduces exercises focusing on real-life situations and personal experiences, challenging textbook reliance. The author questions artificial contexts, advocating for self-generated content. Concerns arise about cultural barriers and clashes with traditional methods. The article ends with thoughts on publishing such materials and the impact of the photocopying revolution on teaching methods. Exercises cover comparatives, present simple with adverbs, spatial prepositions, present continuous, and simple past interrogative.
