How is it that those who study English formally often speak less fluently than those who haven't? In my essay "The English Problem," I've uncovered at least 18 ways English teaching falls short globally. It's time for change!
I'm reaching out to those who care about improving English learning, especially for non-native speakers. Your support could help bring a neuro-friendly approach to the forefront and challenge outdated methods that hold learners back.

ATTENTION ENGLISH TEACHERS
My “Insider English” eBook is a unique* PDF bundle, designed for English teachers (EAL/ESL/EFL) as well as for autonomous learners (intermediate to proficiency levels). It forms the culmination of over twelve years of meticulously compiling that which I found to be largely missing from mainstream curricula.
The latest edition, with considerable added content, is now categorised: grammar-related, lexis building, oral skills and pronunciation, writing skills, and miscellaneous topics which include learning strategies, selected articles and essays I have written related to English, not to mention two song lyrics for vocabulary expansion.
You can study the free **Table of Contents** with preface
for details here:

and the Lifetime eBook (+Cloud access) here:
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/insiderenglish/e/48203 (in CDN)
The eBook proposes insightful and original ways of approaching English debunking irrelevant Latin terminology and traditional approaches to grammar in favour of a more neuro-friendly way of perceiving and conveying the language.
The advantage of purchasing the bundle (rather than available separate PDFs), is that you would get free regular updates, expansion, and improvements to the content, in the Evernote cloud when you include your email on purchase so you receive a link to +2,170 files of content that can be readily adapted for adult learners, resources (available at no extra cost and for a lifetime. (This eBook is offered at the same price on two other sites. Registered users will get a discount.)
With your purchase, I will donate one percent of all proceeds to the Int'l Tree Foundation (UK).
