resources?

4. Why use reference resources
– Check the form and use of grammatical structures (Grammar Books)
– Checking the spelling, pronunciation and use of lexical items (dictionary)
– Developing your own understanding of language (using teacher guide to
develop teaching skill and supplementary to improve your language skill)
– Anticipating learners’ difficulties (Make it clear between L1 and English,
so that they will not involve much in L1 while they are acquiring English)
– Look for new approaches to teaching lessons and new classroom
activities (Using supplementary)
– Finding out how to use material in your coursebook

from another book/resources.
