Teaching Poetry

is not Everybodys
Cup of Tea

Charles R Dukes Opinion

English teachers have given some
attention to aesthetic reading,
usually terming it development of
literary appreciation, but many of the
classroom practices used to foster
that appreciations have been
counterproductive.

Blended Learning
In this digital age, a language
teacher has to assimilate new ideas
and design classes to cater to a large
number of learners with diverse
learning styles to make teaching
optimally effective.
