 Re: Teach English correctly, or as used?
From my point of view, the teacher should expose the students essentially to authentic material, whether it is considered correct or not. Only then should the master provide the learners with different theories on what is called REGISTER. One ought to know well how to adapt his or her speech according to specific purposes. As for the grammatical or ungrammatical thing, only the structures that hinder communication, taking into account the acclaimed REGISTER, should be regarded as mistakes. |
