eveglassJust had my first session with a class today. About halfway through, I was seriously considering telling my boss that I can't do it. The main issue is that they're much lower level than I'm used to. I'm used to making jokes, speaking fast, and generally entertaining my students, who are usually at least intermediate level. These guys are all very beginner, and I found myself repeating or rephrasing things a lot so that I was understood. I'm not sure I can actually do 20 classes of this.
Also, Wednesday I'm being observed by one of the senior teachers of my school. (Not Vanier, the private ESL school.) Though this is actually something I've wanted for a long time (ie: someone to give me some objective feedback), I'm still somewhat nervous about it. It'll go fine, I'm sure, but... yeah, nervous.
Right. Time to eat something and then do actual Productive Stuff (tm).
