" No. The usual expression is make a point of doing something . " But the two uses of 'make' sound bad.
- " No.
- The usual expression is make a point of doing something .

- And the end of the sentence does not work well, either.
- I suggest eg As a teacher, I’d have to ensure that classroom time is used for real communication by the students.

Thank you for your suggestion. I had a hard time wording the original sentence. I was trying to say that "As a teacher, I want to make sure that I make the best use of the time that the students have toward real communication". So, I came up with several versions, but nothing really sounded right to me. I like your suggestion much better, so I'll use it. Thanks again for your help.
