A forum full of teachers, and none prepared to better my definition of what a word is? Pah! |

....and my new personal very favourite:
TENOR = Teaching English for No Obvious Reason
(meaning that the reason isn't obvious to the students; usually done in public schools in EFL contexts where students are not immediately motivated by the possibilities of travel or work or study abroad).
Source: Abbot (1981) in Jordan (1991) Teaching English for Academic Purposes, Cambridge University Press.
(meaning that I really didn't make it up:-)) |
