The aim of this international event is to enable language educators and researchers from across Asia to share ideas and discuss various aspects relating to the theory and/or practice of task-based learning and teaching in Asia.
It’s been my privilege - as a teacher trainer, examiner and former director of studies – to observe some really memorable classes. Let me share a few of these with you, and let’s see if we can draw up some principles for good grammar teaching.
