The Teacher is More Important Than the Method

At the beginning of the year I felt that the English class will be a boring class and I thought that the way of teaching will be the same as other schools but it was totally different from other schools. The English teacher has asked us to document what we learn in the English class. So we created a folder called the learner portfolio that contained about nine folders. When we completed an activity we saved it inside the folder. For example, for listening we used a web site called ESL-lab. The teacher asked every student to bring a headphone and use his computer to listen. The website has many listening exercises that are divided according to the level. The student can choose the exercises they want to answer. I believe that I learned a lot of new words and grammatical points from the learner portfolio project but I think that learning can be better if the teacher uses a mix of the old and the new way of teaching.
