The way you make us reflect on our teaching IS undeniably helpful and eye-opening. It's critical for any teacher to understand what's under the hood. Thank you.

Couldn't agree with you more!

When I learned French at university classes, my teachers used my mother language-Chinese-to explain French, often asking us to make translations. As a result, I made limited progress, by the end of the first semester, I only know how to ask weather, and I don’t know how to speak or listen what the French people said. Then I went to Alliance Francaise, where teachers taught in French, and I had plenty of chances to speak and play games. As a result, I made huge progress, I can communicate with the French. I even passed DALF C1 in the end. CLT really matters
