Common sense would say that good teachers need to work hard to teach English to their students. But, of what use is hard work if it isn’t approached in an informed, smart manner? At an annual teachers’ meeting at a medium-sized private university, this theme was discussed. How is hard work different from working smart for teaching? Are they one and the same? Survey results and discussion outcomes will be shared.
