Overdo vs Overdue - English Grammar - Teaching Tips
This video covers the difference between 'overdo' and 'overdue'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. 'Overdue' describes something that is past a due date or past a scheduled time, for example: I need to pay all my overdue bills to avoid a late fee. 'Overdo', on the other hand, is used when speaking about doing something to an excessive degree, for example: Don't overdo the salt in this recipe or it will taste bad.

This unit focuses on basic English grammar such as parts of speech and their sub-types. Though this lesson is very basic, it helped me to realize that many speech patterns and words that I use every day are actually irregular or exceptions to what are taught as the rules of English grammar.Extremely informative unit on lesson planning. I learned how to make a lesson plan which I found should have been taught earlier on in the course. I learned about the learner objectives is what you want the student to know by the end of the lesson. Video again was excellent. Very nice unit!The ESA method is an organized way to deliver classes. It gives us guidance on how to talk about theory and how to put it into practice while making sure students understood it. The activities are great, and it gives us ideas on how to deliver a dynamic class for both, teacher and students.
