A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.
Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they’re often very sneakily used by politicians and the media to fool people.
A fallacy is an incorrect argument in logic and rhetoric which undermines an argument’s logical validity or more generally an argument’s logical soundness.
Fallacies are either formal fallacies or informal fallacies.
These are commonly used styles of argument in convincing people, where the focus is on communication and results rather than the correctness of the logic, and may be used whether the point being advanced is correct or not.
A formal fallacy is an error in logic that can be seen in the argument’s form.
A propositional fallacy is an error in logic that concerns compound propositions.
A quantification fallacy is an error in logic where the quantifiers of the premises are in contradiction to the quantifier of the conclusion.
Informal fallacies – arguments that are fallacious for reasons other than structural (formal) flaws and usually require examination of the argument’s content.
Faulty generalisations – reach a conclusion from weak premises. Unlike fallacies of relevance, in fallacies of defective induction, the premises are related to the conclusions yet only weakly buttress the conclusions. A faulty generalization is thus produced.
A red herring fallacy, one of the main subtypes of fallacies of relevance, is an error in logic where a proposition is, or is intended to be, misleading in order to make irrelevant or false inferences.

What type of EFL teacher are you?
What type of EFL teacher are you?
We hear a lot about learning styles, with questionnaires and quizzes all over the Internet, although some recent studies argue that there is no such thing as a learning styles (Steven Pinker, Johnstone family professor of psychology at Harvard University; Dorothy Bishop, professor of developmental neuropsychology at the University of Oxford; and leading neuroscientist Prof Uta Frith)...
However, we hear very little about teaching styles - which is surely not a myth.
No two teachers are alike, and any teacher with classroom teaching experience will agree that their style of teaching is uniquely their own.
An effective teaching style engages learners in the learning process and helps them develop critical thinking skills.
Traditional teaching styles have evolved, prompting teachers to adjust their styles toward students’ learning needs.
Some styles are more adapted to certain subjects and less to other subjects - see where your style is.
The best way to get a really clear idea is to answer the questions as honestly as possible - not 'how I would like to be.'
Don’t worry. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers.
Answer the questions based on what you think tends to be true about yourself.
You may feel there is more than one answer that tends to be true about yourself. That is possible.
Try to choose the one that is more frequent and/or evident about you.
By choosing one answer, it does not mean that you are totally excluding the others or that the others are completely untrue.
Answers just indicate stronger tendencies about you.

Sergeant Podblog and The oil Mystery Episode 1 – Sergeant Podblog is called in to solve the case of The murder of Inspector Whatsisname, whose body was found at the foot of Cheddar Gorge, stabbed with a note with the names of three suspects in his hand.

No weapon was ever found, but the grammar police, headed by the brilliant detective Sergeant Podblog, have three suspects to interview.
In this first episode, of a four part series, Sergeant Podblog interviews Suzie, who turns out to have a habit of making simple mistakes, but does this mean that she could be the murderer?
There was a sharp ice-axe found in her Knightsbridge office – was this the murder weapon?
Listen and see if you can spot the mistakes.
