Well it was good, not great, but that is a reflection on the teacher. It will be great! There were 2 classes today the first at 8a- 9:40a and the second 9:55a - 11:35a, both comprised of Post Graduates. Their English was not great, but it was good to passable to barely there.
They would like to learn about American Culture and hear about Obama and the American Economy. One gal asked me about the CNN / China fiasco. Huh? Turns out (I guess you probably know this) one of the newscasters... Anderson Cooper???.... insulted China and then the CEO of CNN made an apology but according to the student is wasn't a good apology because....well Ididn't understand her and quite frankly she had so much trouble getting this part of the story out that I didn't pursue the whys. I'll look it up later on the internet.
They are shy but when asked they are happy to stand up and speak, so it's a matter of me just making sure I ask everyone to speak. Not to much hand raising.
They would like to have some debates and also learn about some classical literature. I think I will stick to poems and perhaps short stories. Anyone have some recommendations?
