The description of this sub-forum should be changed

[everybodyknows]

Hello all,

Maybe this is the wrong place to post this, if so I apologise. However, I find it slightly ironic that on a forum dedicated to language learning this sub-forum's description reads:

[tt]How does language X should be taught? What are the best methods to teach language X? [/tt]

:confused:

So, how would you name it?

I think OP is right, the sentence doesn't sound correct. I think the word "does" should be replaced with "should" so it reads - "how should language x be taught?". That's how I understand the post at least.

Baburra is correct - I was simply referring to the poor grammar in the description. "Should" is a modal verb and doesn't form questions with "does/do" but through inverting the subject/verb order. So it should read:

[tt]How should language X be taught?[/tt]

I'm not normally so pedantic but this is a language learning forum after all  :wacky:

That's no problem at all. I am really happy you pointed that out. I am going to change that immediately. If you find more silly mistakes like this, please let me know.
