Experiences of a teacher of English

One day Dwight once more said to Joe, "I am thinking lately that teaching is a service, it should be something else than mere fulfilling a schedule and be paid and trying to survive among people, from bow to aft, who do not want to learn." To be continued. Me teaching at a summer program in Malaga, a few years ago. As you see, at this time my students were so few, and so advanced most of them though. I'd like to add that the chairs upside-down should be on the floor.

Ponder on this, as Joe suggested us to do: Sanctify your job, sanctify yourself at your job, sanctify the(sic) others with your job. Plus that it's the Holy Spirit who sanctifies. Zipi y Zape. Thanks to bibliopiedrasbalncas wordpress com

Joe thought in the later afternoon that he should have told Dwight about some more advantages, or better said, positive points women are enriched with, just for the fact of their feminity. When facing pain, they suffer it more bravely. Man and woman are complementary. Summing up to that feminity, add the quality of being more on the little detail. Plus perhaps being better in treatment with other people, not disregarding men - I'm very diplomatic... More Enduring! -that's the word. I'd like to write about other so positive points they can contribute to the school, whatever the level in the company. I can remember, who said it?, oh no clue, that behind a great man is a great woman. Just think of the First Ladies, namely from JFK on, Jacqueline, Nancy, Michelle, Laura, Mrs. Clinton... Last but not least. Who is the best creature ever, the highest? The Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our mother. More than her, only God.

Joe answered this question Dwight had asked, "When you are the principal of the school, or the director of the department of languages, I assume you should do this. Bear with me. Let your subordinates carry around as they wish, first of all. Let your teachers teach classes whatsoever they like; delegate on them, let them make for it. Let them be comfortable with your leading. Let them do their best. Stick together to them, inasmuch as possible. Be a mother with the disappointed ones. Be a father with the too-much easy-going ones, who do not take work serious, or do not demand effort from their kids. Delegate on them. Shoot the soccerball onto their roofs. They will get more responsible of their job themselves. Listen, listen, listen to your teachers. Make suggestions to them. Track them down. Track their successes or failures. Keep listening to them. Let you yourself bear with them. Make them be aware of what turns out good, what bad. Right, I was referring to a single-sex school,...

Dwight said to his friend Joe, "Lately I'm thinking about my being a part of a department, and that I have to count on my colleagues, that I should follow the directives of the director. If we all push on in the same direction, the school will stay afloat. Now, I realize that I... can contribute with my opinions, with what I think turns out good in the classes; so I can help my department-mates. Besides, taking care of them, because they are part of mine myself. Well, and also for their sake themselves. So, to help them effectively, firstly, I ought to listen to them, noticing their faces today, whether Lucas looks bad, because they had to take Verónica, their little daughter to "Urgencias", so they didn't sleep much." Joe said, "Wow, sounds good, man, I see you are learning the stuff. Yes, your contribution is worth highlighting. And I prefer to think that you, your team, are trying to work like the pieces of a clock machine - I mean, our grannies'...

Dwight one day assured to Joe that this latter one's pieces of advice were turning out fine. Joe aslo said to Dwight about a helpful game to enhance and revise grammar. The teacher would write a sentence on the blackboard, and then s/he would ask questions about parts of that sentence. Like: Eli yesterday went to the automated teller machine (ATM), close home, to get some money, because he had no money, and he wanted to pay for his apartment rent . Then the teacher could ask, likewise: Who went to the ATM? Why did Eli go to the ATM? Where...? In this way, you can have practice about past simple and the question words. Soon you'll have some volunteers who will offer to ask questions to their classmates. Cool. A kid is practicing scuba diving. www alayos com

Dwight asked Joe for a simple game, for his low-level students. And Joe gently replied to his colleague, in this way, "Ask in the classroom: Who knows...?, and you will see some upraised hands. For sure. Ask, for example, Who knows the name of an animal, in English? Who knows a color? And so forth. Just try." A Scottish piper, from picturebroadband com
