Not particularly well-kept secret of TEFL #14,793: Languages cannot be taught, they can only be learned. Whatever you do, don’t tell the punters it’s them who have to put in the work or we’ll all be out of a job.

This is just one of several reasons given by the cynic as to why we’re all wasting our time in this profession. The Cynic is the first independent blogger to start a new blog on ELT World, and promises to offer a somewhat alternative view of the noble profession. If you2re interested in starting a blog on ELT World, let me know.
