1659. They awe at you!
The teacher of English carries on by learning English,
unless he’s a native speaker.
And that fact influences on our students. We pass
on the will and eagerness of mastering English.
And they ask you, after the
class, if you’re reading the novel which is on your desk. They and you have
confidence. Someone, one student, picks up the book and flicks through it, and
asks you, in astonishment… whether all is in English!
It’s the starting point
for a conversation about your learning English. You tell them a learning
strategy you follow so as to learn new words. They’re around you and your desk –
the rest of the class-group left some minutes ago.
Also you pass on the like
for literature.
They see you reading in English before the class starts, while
the students are coming into the classroom. They will ask you if you understand
what you read. You'll chuckle and nod an affirmative answer.
Then you read out a
passage: they may not understand, yet they see you’re still learning, and this
counts for one point, for you’re setting an example.
They would like to also
understand it. As well it’s also useful, because they feel the texture of a
read text out. / Photo from: teacher-and-female-pupil-sitting-at-table-reading-book-together
