secondary two english class
this post is fresh... unlike those stale ones where i create the post and save them as drafts, updating them awhile later.
this post is within 12hours of the event(s) occuring. so what is it?
lots of things to mark! to that 'english class' that i teach... you may complain because you have to write 50-100 words... your 15-20 minutes of inconvenience results in my many many hours of ploughing through your work.
i'm not complaining either, i am just voicing out my perspective. i do hope you guys and girls read what i write... not just on your worksheets but also on this blog, because i try to practise what i preach.
anyway... had a 2-in-1 lesson observation today. thank you, 2E1 for being attentive. i hope it was useful, if not you are all pretty good actors and actresses. i'm always thinking about how to improve your EL... in NIE, we call you EFL - english as foreign language learners.
don't worry, it's not something negative. just imagine me learning chinese... i struggled with it as a second language, think about how i will just die doing it as a first language!
so who out there has got ideas to teach the basic rules of grammar without sounding pedantic and outright boring?
