Instructional method
What is the best teaching method for learning English? According to academic research, linguists have demonstrated that there is not one single best method for everyone in all contexts, and that no one teaching method is inherently superior to the others.Also, it is not always possible – or appropriate – to apply the same methodology to all learners, who have different objectives, environments and learning needs.

We believe that even the best book too has limitations failing to cater to all our needs and sometimes being irrelevant to the specific needs. Therefore, at BSE we depend on a plethora of
resources mainly published by Cambridge and Oxford Universities and strictly written by native English language scholars.
