 Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:06 am Post subject: Teaching English during the summer |
 |
|
No kids like to be stuck inside a stuffy classroom during this kind of weather. So what can we do to motivate them� during the summer?
I've taken them out to parks, once on a ferry, if they're small enough groups it can be great for learnng new vocabulary and peveryday phrases. Any other suggestions? |

| The zoo, an aquarium, an air conditioned museum, out for ice cream? Put fans in the classroom? |

| I teach business folk in a climate contolled, windowless plaza out in gecekondu-land, so I don't ever know if it's winter or summer or night or day. I'd love to take my 5-person managers' group out to an aquarium and for ice creams. I think they'd enjoy that. |

Hey all my real friends have gone away again. You gonna be in Taksim tonight? I might come and irritate you and frighten off ballerinas again. I saw DMB on the tube this morning, we almost didn't recognise each other outside the pub! MASSIVE FART! MASSIVE FART! CRACK *beep* CRACK ARRRRRRG! I�VE BEEN ON THE TELLY AND IN THE PAPERS AND EVERYTHING!
Now that's better.
so errr. Teaching English, what's all that about then?

| I once did a coach trip to Aya Sofya. Did all subject related worksheets for it and everything. Half of the class had never set foot inside the place. |

| I've heard miniturk(sp?) do special offers for groups of kids. Failing that you could introduce them to underage drinking on Nevizade. |

True Story: I do stuff with some bands, recording, managining English copy, interviews blah blah blah. One of my current little darlings is a group of Teenage punks. I'd helped them out with something, can't remember what and they promised to buy me a beer. So I met them one Saturday expecting to go down the pub and ended up in that car park next to TRT building drinking tins with a bunch of 14-17 year olds shouting at passers-by. I felt WELL old. |

| Did you shout too? And did you have your 14 year old boy haircut? Does beer taste as good at 29 as it does at 14? |

| I've just got back from a picture framers' and the kids are playing hopscotch outside. In English across the road in perfect english "I love this game" Maybe next time you are drinking beer with 14 year olds you could play hopscotch. Could be a laugh. |
