Try the "Hypothetically speaking" game as a way to teach students how and when to speak hypothetically in a fun, humorous way. Put students in cooperative learning groups that are mixed in levels of English comprehension. Introduce the game by example with a select student before allowing cooperative learning groups to complete it themselves.

This lengthy article challenging many education schools' current assumptions about the essentials of teacher training is sure to spark a lively discussion in any teachers' lounge. Which is more important, a sound theoretical foundation or an emphasis on practical skills and critical thinking? Are teachers facilitators, mentors, or a bit of each? Agree or not, this one will certainly prompt some reflections on how you teach, and why.
