ABSTRACT
For a successful teaching-learning process, both teachers and learners should agree about the styles to use. The present research work aimed at investigating suitability and unsuitability of EFL teaching-learning styles in public secondary schools in Parakou municipality (Benin). Three hundred and fifty (350) EFL learners and thirty five (35) EFL teachers were randomly selected for the study. Questionnaires and interviews had been the major instruments for data collection. Statistical analysis carried out with R 4.0.2 revealed significant mismatch between the two styles. It was noted that most of learners are likely to prefer to learn English language with the help of visual and kinesthetic materials than auditory. Teachers strongly favored kinesthetic teaching style (14.9), visual style (13.6) and disfavored auditory teaching style (12.9). The majority of them have two teaching styles (70%). Meanwhile, it was shown that such unsuitability has important negative impacts on students such as stress, unhappiness, boredom and makes teaching-learning failed.

ABSTRACT
The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of have a look at and take a look at in four corpora. A major point to note is that take a look at is preferred over have a look at in the TV Corpus from the 1950s to the 2010s. A further point to note is two types reached a peak in the 2010s, which in turn implies that they are the most preferred ones in the 2010s. With respect to the Movie Corpus, it is worth noting that take a look at is favored over have a look at in the Movie Corpus from the 1930s to the 2010s. It is noteworthy, on the other hand, have a look at reached a peak (346 tokens) in the 2000s, whereas take a look at reached a peak (1,310 tokens) in the 2010s. This in turn implies that two types were the most preferred ones in in those periods. The COCA clearly shows that have a look at http is the most preferred one in America, whereas take a look at it is the most preferred one. The COCA also shows that 8.88% of forty five nouns are the collocations of both have a look at and take a look at. The BNC clearly indicates that have a look at number and take a look at trends are the most preferable ones among the British. With respect to the BNC, it is interesting to point out that only 3.7% of twenty seven nouns are the collocation of have a look at and take a look at.
