I've been a bit wrapped up this week so apologies for the PlantStew images and plant suggestions awaiting approval. I hope to get them done tomorrow. The school I studied at last semester offered me some English teaching work as a substitute teacher. I'd never done any real teaching before so I accepted. "Butterflies in the stomach"-feelings aside I did enjoy it and the students actually took me seriously I'm not officially trained to teach English but as native English speakers are few and far between around these parts they gave me a chance. Not sure I could ever make a second career out of it but it was rewarding. Normal transmission resumes now (I think)
Congrats Frank! I'm sure you did a wonderful job. I'll bet the students will be asking for their 'favorite' sub again!
Well done for having the courage to give it a go Frank despite the butterflies. Foreign students find it so much easier to learn from native English teachers and I'm sure your students have been taught quite a bit by you already. :-D
Having stood up infront of a class full of school kids and spoken to them for nearly an hour on soil, I can well appreciate the butterflies you felt! Well done you, I have the utmost respect.
Well done Frank. I'm so pleased for your students. If you keep at it, might we hear Swedes speaking English with an Irish lilt?
Thanks all That was actually happening already. The thing is that I have to teach the classes through Swedish. So it's very good practice for my Swedish also.
