Hi Saw Thura Aung,
I checked your profile and it seems fine to me, I can see the grammar course on it. You will be able to start it on the 30th August. If you have problems seeing your portfolio it usually helps to make sure you log out of the site on all your devices, then log back in on the one you want to use. If that fails, try clearing cache.

Question
Hi Osamko,
That's a good question, and I am guessing that most teachers do 'a mix'! It's exactly the sort of topic that the participants and educators will be exploring on the course that starts on 30th August 'Teaching Pathways: How to teach grammar'. Hope you join the course to discuss it with educators and course participants :).
