Teacher Discussion Forums

Hello All,

I got a new job teaching one-on-one to well educated advanced adults, mostly conversation with some business English. I decided to start a blog of lessons, ideas, curriculum and the like.

I'm blatantly pimping my blog, with the hope that other people will chime in with suggestions ro criticism ("What?! Using South Park?!?").

Hello there. I'm jeoulous....That's what I'd like. I'm teaching an adult class (amonst many other classes that I'm trying to get out of) and I've been playing UNO with them while discussing "Mr. Right," (the class is all women), "Dreams" and whoever's turn it was to put a card down, had to ask a question to anyone...they seem to love it!

One of the most important things about teaching is to like and respect the students. Don't think that you have to be an expert on everything. Be willing to indicate if you don't really know; ask if anyone else knows. The students here are older, dedicated, smart and interesting, and you can learn a great deal from them.
