I've been teaching "Oral English" at the uni for 4 semesters now-trying to get them to communicate and not just memorize. Here, it seems, so much is put on the teacher. If the teacher says to do this , do it. I'm trying to push responsibility of the student.
Tomorrow I will be a judge at an English-speaking contest on campus. Undergraduates who belong to an English club will perform. A chance to meet more students in a non-classroom situation.
Winter has come-below O C so I can turn on the aircon/heater to warm up the concrete walls.
