Will be sad to finish teaching them all, I feel I've got to know each of them pretty well, a really nice bunch of people. I was a little nervous at the beginning as we really didn't anticipate the age and level differences we would encounter in our classes, but now I am just so proud of them all. Also proud of all of us teachers, I feel we all came together so well and the students really seem to have responded to us, their English has definitely improved without exception. Plus we have had almost no drop-outs! We must be doing something right.
Was going to write a bit about our weekend courtesy of Hugo, Ana and Henrique, but have just been reading Anya's post which my thoughts echo exactly :) I think possibly Saturday was the best day yet on the island, had a really lovely time.
So today I did a lesson on the British monarchy. Was pretty fun, and gave me an excuse to feel teach them a bit about where I come from and get the class to see a bit of English culture... they seemed pretty into it, ended the class with a pro/anti monarchy debate which got quite heated! Was really impressed with them all, they really got to grips with the subject and got all their points across well!
So yeah basically I'm a proud proud teacher :D
