I think that the problem is not in the approaches adopted, but in the coursebooks we're teaching. I mean we most of the time find that the activities 'prescribed do not suit our students. Moreover, the problem is we, teachers of English, still teach using archaic methods, namely chalk and BB in a time when our students have access to a wide range of technological innovations such as MP3s, USBs, cell phones, etc.

thanks so much for your available point of view; besides nobody obliges you to use the textbook as it is: you can go beyond the text book imagine a colleague of mine is using the textbook "tickets" instead of using of "gate way ii" which he is supposed to use. therefore we are free to use any materials that suit the syllabus and official guidelines

I dont' think so. You are NOT free to use what you want. you don't work in private schools. there is a council who decides the coursebook. what you can and you may integrate the book with your activities that go with the official instructions.
i would like to say to the colleague who said that theory is useless that i'm afraid you are wrong. methodology is very useful. only job has a methodology so you can't teach a ******** element because you like it o because your students need it. you have to base your job on a theory. this doesn't mean that

[jackard]

you have to be a linguist o a pscholinguist in ******** classroom but you have to know how to resolve problems basing you on theory.
I don't agree again with the colleague who said that we have to adopt a moroccan methodology
which is speak arabic in foreign ******** class? it is wrong. i know that there are many teachers who use arabic to explain in foreign ******** class that's a bad habit and the result: students who don't speak any foreign languge. wa salam
