Happy Teachers Day for you all!
How was your September and October, dear teachers? I do hope that the Listening tips I posted last two months are useful. I was looking forward to hearing from you. Well, you might be very busy to talk about the tips and how successful you are in the attempt of implementing them in the classroom. I am still waiting for your comments and feedback of the post.
This November, I would like to discuss about 'Life Skills for Teachers'. Our first question is what are life skills? Why life skills for teachers? What make them so important for teachers?
First of all open the link I give you here, http://www.macmillanenglish.com/events/life-skills-for-teachers/http://www.macmillanenglish.com/events/life-skills-for-teachers/. Then, listen to a talk by Emma-Sue Prince (it's on the same page of the link I give you).
You can provide your comments or feedback through our group blog. Let me know if your fellow teachers are interested in joining the group blog. I can invite them. Ask them to provide their correct email address so that I can send them invitation to join our blog.
Happy listening and writing.
Cheers,
Anik
I was like being stricken by lightning when reading the tips from Emma. Here let me quote:
ReplyDeleteEmma's top teaching tip
To never stop learning and developing and to stay connected to your passion for teaching. It’s easy to get overloaded and overwhelmed with the administrative work, preparation and long hours involved in teaching and to forget about the difference and impact a teacher makes on students.
In my daily teaching, hiding those administrative work and the variety of students input and output is a habit. Now, I feel ashamed and I wish I can become a better teacher, moreover a better person.
Hi Bu Endah,
DeleteHappy to see you writing again. The tips Emma gave is not only for you but for us all teachers. By that definition, I am included. I might lost interest of teaching or improving my teaching and learning skills once in a while. Thus, I also have to maintain my interest or my passion of teaching and learning although so many tasks challenge me to move forward.
Good on you!
