2. Discuss the question:
Which do you think is more essential for better learning - good teachers or good textbooks?
Textbooks are essential teaching and learning materials in any programme and syllabus. Having good textbooks is very important. Good textbooks provide students with adequate knowledge, skills and practice. Good textbooks also guide students how to learn and help them study effectively on their own.
However, having good teachers may be more important than having good textbooks because a good teacher can turn a poor quality textbook into an interesting one. In fact, a good teacher can even replace the textbook, motivate students to learn, and train them to use self-studying skills. Besides that, the teachers must take responsibilities for the students` learning.
As the Vietnamese idiom says:
“ NO GUIDE, NO REALIZATION”
In summary, having good teachers is more essential for better learning than having good textbooks.
Put a tick in the boxes “YES” or “NO” if you agree or disagree with the following statements
