Sunday English Class at Grace Church

5/16/10
Today I prepared more for my English class at Grace Church than I have done in a long time. And it seemed to pay off. Nobody complained about the game being boring though it did seem to be over some peoples’ heads. I got the idea from http://www.eslpartyland.com/students/nov/travel.htm. I used 10 scrambled sentences and I selected from 20 trivia questions. I got through most of the US trivia questions, nearly all the customs questions and nearly through all the European trivia questions in about an hour. These students seem to respond well to games that require them to write on the white board. I think I’ll try this format with some modifications in my conversation class tomorrow.

Welcome to This Blog

Thank you for visiting this blog. I started this blog as a way to keep track of my teaching practices. I intend to write about my teaching practices on this blog. I do not offer this information as if I have all the answers but I hope I will find answers to my teaching questions through this method.

Sometimes I will write for my students.
I will try to keep the sentences simple for you.
I know that my English is more difficult than English itself.
I hope I can also ask you Korean questions and that you can answer them.
And I also hope you will ask me questions and give me answers.
If you enjoyed the class I'd like to know what you enjoyed.
And if you didn't like the class, why not?
If you feel like there is too much homework, tell me about it on here.

I will try to post things on this website that will be helpful for me and perhaps for others. This blog is for professional development only. Therefore everything that goes on in here should be professional.

I look forward to many conversations with all of you. Because this is not e-mail, hopefully I won't have to sift through e-mail to find your messages.

Now before you leave, please post a comment.
