Hi dear teachers of English,
As far as GBT is concerned, I personally think that it's up to the teacher to decide whether to
replace, add, supplement or keep the textbook as it is.
That's to say, we should not go beyond the textbook for the sake of going beyond it, but there should be a reason and a need for that rising from the classroom context itself.
I have a question related to the same topic;
Don't you find the textbooks – especially Focus— too fragmented because of its short activities?
How to deal with that? Thanks in advance, if you can present down-to-earth suggestions.
