It\u2019s an excellent source of English language comprehensible input.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The idea of the learner-centred classroom does not mean that students should be talking most of the time and the teacher keeping quiet, acting only as a facilitator. Of course, you want your students to be active language users for much of the lesson time; but you also want to give them opportunities to hear lots of comprehensible English, and learn from it. And the best such opportunities are provided by your own speech.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely to be better than recorded or filmed input, because it\u2019s directly addressed to your students, you can design and adapt it to suit their levels and needs, and it\u2019s \u2018live\u2019, taking place in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-article-stw-howdone field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/elt\/blog\/2014\/05\/23\/five-top-tips-chris-redstons\/\">Read full article<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All this week, we\u2019ve been celebrating the publication of Penny Ur\u2019s new book 100 Teaching Tips, the latest in our Cambridge Handbook for Language Teachers series.
