I Love My Students!
August 7, 2010Hey all! You may know that my master’s is in linguistics. You may even know that I’m teaching an intensive pronunciation class this summer to foreign-born future-TAs.
What you may not know is that we have such intense practice during the week, that we like to have some fun on Fridays. We join another class and play language games. This Friday, we played question-Jenga. The other class put up an excellent effort, and were bested once again.
My class is super-competitive (as am I), so I have tons of pride about them, about our winning streak, and about the class as a whole. This has just been such an awesome experience… It’s a beautiful thing to know something, explain it to someone else, and have them get it. It’s truly a blessing to have had this experience!!
Do you like teaching? It’s a lot of work, it’s true, and I find it so gratifying. My mom says she always knew I’d teach. It’s in my blood. What do you think?
Love,
CarolAnn
