What started out as a joke thread has turned out to be almost serious.
A couple of questions for you 31. How much Turkish do you use in the classroom and what subjects do you think are still largely unknown |

| Yeah but when Eldridge did his research it was against the grain for high school teachers in Izmir to do classroom research let alone do it in a lise and get published in ELTJ. |

| How come no one was worried that the teacher only waited a second for students to respond? |

I can think of lots of questions about bellybutton fluff, or about bellybuttons in general, but they wouldn't be fair because they'd be specific to my bellybutton and only I would know the answer.
I do, however, know a lot about the Manson Family and Rasputin. I'm pretty good at the Simpsons too, but only for the first 10 or so seasons. After that, the Simpsons became crap. I refer to them with scorn as 'The New Episodes.'
I noticed that Romanian priest who crucified the nun looked a lot like Rasputin.
I wonder why I never heard of Cardinal Sin from the Philipines until today, when he died.
Baba Alex, what's Jerry's little grey nephew's name? I can never remember that. |

| Is this true? There was an episode of Tom and Jerry made only to be shown when the writer or creator died. In this final episode tom kills Jerry, Spike kills Tom and then spike gets run over and dies. |

I use very little Turkish in the classroom. As I teach low level students I do sometimes translate a word or two if there is a misunderstanding or to speed things up. I never explain grammar points in Turkish. At break times I do speak to the students in Turkish quite often.
Areas of ELT that are largely unknown? Well if you consider that applied linguistics/ELT/TESOL are very new disciplines. Up until the 60s it was at best comparative philology. As far as I am aware very little is known about language learning and teaching. In particular methodology-what is the current position? ELT seems to have given up in methodology after finding out that comparative methodology doesn`t work and ''there`s no best method.'' |

very true. Most research about language learning is about L1. Chomsky being the most famous. He is often misquoted and his research is used to back up learning L2 |

To add to the general horror of EFL there is little if any real theory to underpin it and EFL lurches from one new fad to another. |

Jerry's cousin, a very strong mouse who looked a bit Elvis Costello
| Quote: |

My favorite - Johan Mouse (when the cat played, the mouse vould dance).
The patriotic Yankee Doodle Mouse
The Night Before Christmas
Mouse in Manahatten
The Cat Concerto
And that one where Tom tries to kill himself at the begining.
(that's 6 )

right It must be one of 2, if it's the HB one I'm thinking of then Die Fledermouse (Strauss)
if it's the Chuck Jones 60's one then Either 'Marriage of Figaro' or The Barber of Sevile (Rossine) so I'll go for (imagines tom in his head).
mmmmmm FIGARO
