    Impact on teaching, learning and assessment

    Would you consider the following phrase ‘correct’ or ‘acceptable’ English? ‘That your new car, is it?’
    ✅ I will tolerate it but for me, that's an unacceptable. If I could find the right time, then I will help the person to correct it with the premise, " let's both learn together!". Trust is the key.

    What kind of language do your students expect you to use?

    What kind of English do you expect to hear and use in the classroom?
