EFL teachers teach English as a foreign language using the communicative method and project work. They enable students to practice and improve the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with a focus on real-life communication. Grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and discourse all play an important part in the course. In all lessons, students are encouraged to communicate with each other using the target structures and vocabulary.
