Keeping in mind the actual objective of every single task, activity or lesson is something I find very useful.

Keeping in mind the actual objective of every single task, activity or lesson is something I find very useful. I’ve often used (and created) materials which seem fresh but offer very limited learning outcomes. This usually results in consuming valuable classroom time to do something which is motivating and fun but does not offer much in terms of language learning. To sum up, my advice would be: “Don’t be innovative just to be innovative”.

    Top notch advice. I've fallen into the same trap more than a few times!

    Brilliant. Sometimes teachers 'change' things but add no real value to the existing content.
