Re: Short easy books for adult learners?

If you are looking for a Canadian classic, then you should definitely include The Handmaid's Tale. Though it is roughly around 300 pages, it could be a thought provoking book for adult learners. I remember how many of my student's expressed their strong opinions about the book through argumentative ...

Re: Tips for ELT writers

Be it any kinda of writing, proofreading and citations are important. Since we refer to research papers and other online materials while writing, it makes sense to run our write ups through plagiarism checkers to avoid content duplication.

Re: What is the best reading strategy?

I would suggest to make them read articles and books of their interest. I once thought a Chinese shop owner to read by tapping into her interest of establishing a business in Canada. We read several business development related articles and she made great progress in a matter of few days.

Re: Learning in two languages
