Ответ на «poor exam question design !»

Good evening, dear colleague! Thank you for the question. I do absolutely agree with you that it's one of the important things in teaching English- to create an English speaking atmosphere in class and avoid translating into Russian. But sometimes it doesn't work, you know. Weak students due to their personal abilities find it very difficult and prefer their own language as a mediator.
As for slang, proverbs or idioms, it's completely impossible to translate word by word. It makes no sense then.
Anyway, there are as many aproaches as teachers. Every student is unique and I am 100% sure that every of us is doing his best to achieve great results.
Best regards, Yulia Skudalova.
