This has been a topic that’s divided people since it was first mentioned by Scott Thornbury in the 1990s. Many, myself included, question the practicability of a teaching style based entirely on spontaneity. As nice as it may sound theoretically to go into a classroom and say, ‘hey, what do you feel like learning today,’ there are too many drawbacks surely to taking such an approach. Clearly, from the replies this topic has been receiving over on the teacher training forum, a lot of you agree.

Other interesting discussions going on at the teacher training forum include a debate on the natural approach and the pros and cons of DELTA and MA courses.
