Hello,
I am writing my diploma thesis "Various approaches to teaching Simple Past Tense on Elementary level". I suppose that teachers visiting this site might have some experience and the will to help.
I would appreciate if you could post brief answers to the following questions. Should not take more than 2 minutes
Thank you very much in advance. It is a great help
