  14. Wonderland´s recipe for successful adult teaching • Exposing them to a variety of accents • Not correcting every single mistake • In conversation class focusing on the usage of grammar structures and not so much on theory. • Following the 3p rule: presentation, practice and production • Constant repetition of what they have learnt using different materials each time
