Tamara Myshak's Blog

To teachers loving to teach English!

The idea of this blog is to share my 30-year experience of teaching foreign languages with anyone who cares.

There are several rubrics ranging from step by step teaching beginners to a plethora of grammar and vocabulary multiple-choice tests for advanced students preparing for the Ukrainian External Independent Evaluating Test.

One of the focuses is to practise confusing vocabulary, based on doing dual-choice tests, which will enable students to grip the meaning of the words from real context and eliminate a number of mistakes in a genuine test.
