This video covers the difference between 'aisle' and 'isle'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. The word 'aisle' is a noun and describes a passage between rows of seats in a church, in a theater, an airplane or between shelves in a supermarket. A suitable example sentece for the word 'aisle' would be: The aisle was crowded with people looking for seats. The word 'isle' is also a noun but has a very different meaning. It usually refers to a small island, such as here: The pirates were in search of the lost isle for buried treasure. As you can see, once you know the meanings of the two words, you will not confuse them as their meanings are very different.

This chapter talks about the use of course books and other materials to help you plan for and teach your class. It talks about the many different advantages and disadvantages of using a course book. It states that it is usually good to have a balance of using the course book as a good baseline but to adjust it according to your particular class of students.In this eighteenth unit, we learned about modals, phrasal verbs, and passive voice. This was one of the more difficult units for me because I have not given much attention to these topics in the past. I think that it was important for me to read this chapter and I believe that going forward, it will be something to improve on and implement into my teaching.
