This week I talk to Charlie Cranmer, aka Charlie's Lessons.

We talk about.....well, what don't we talk about?

Here's a quick rundown of where our initial conversation about pressure and prioritizing went:

- students might not like us vs common ground

- box-ticking vs approaches that aren't grammar-oriented

-grammar vs function

- the security blanket of the course book

- perfection vs realistic lesson outcomes

- PPP

- input

- bad TTT vs quality TTT

- underprepping vs overprepping.

Join us as we put the world to rights.
