I really appreciate your efforts to help those in need to learn English, but what about the teacher himself/ herself? Don't you think that we should shed light on the issues that concern us as teachers? don't you think that we should exchange our experiences?

Hello dear colleagues, I think it's a good idea to devote this part to teachers' discussions. Everyone will share his ideas, convictions, teaching experiences with others and exchange everything.

I think that sharing websites is a good thing but sharing real teaching experience in pure Moroccan context is better. Why not share ideas about: The use of Arabic in English classes.We found ourselves sometimes in this Dilema: should I use Arabic or not and how often? some inspectors would criticise teachers for even moderate use of Arabic and some say that it's necessary to avoid waste of time.What do you think?

Personally, i do use Arabic from time to time. I teach in a room whereby there is not power and i asked my headmaster to change that room to allow me to bring my laptop. the latter will help me avoid Arabic and will allow me to do listening too. However, it is somehow very difficult to explain as an example Grammar without shifting to Arabic. This is of course if you want to warrantee the success of the lesson.

Thank you MOONRIVER for your contribution.I was wondering how helpful is your laptop in avoiding the use of arabic? I mean it's very useful when it comes to listening activities but is it so when used to display pictures? I sometimes find myself , especially in grammar lessons, forced to explain in Arabic and I am totally convinced that it's the right way to do it because I know students hate Grammar and hate hearing grammatical explanation that is also in English
