fudgester SG Sounds a lot like myself. I don't know what the heck is a verb, adverb, noun, adjective, or what have you. I follow the rules of English, but I don't even know those rules in the first place.
rainee SG yea, but thing is i m worried they wun understand when i speak English to them...then they will go complain to the management saying that they dun understand my teaching...
hisoka SG yupz you can jsut use the excuse that it would be good for them to be forced to use english so that their english can improve. tell them the fastest way to learna language is to use it
udontknowme SG and and and....the guy left his bedroom door open and the BEEG BEEG poster on his wall TSK TSK TSK!!!! goodness...
ndmmxiaomayi SG Test lor... When you ask and they reply back in Chinese, you know what to expect already. It's back to basics for those without English background. Those with English background, it's their proficiency.
udontknowme SG hmm...in my school. even in the ESL classes. NO other language is allowed other than english. how else can they learn
ndmmxiaomayi SG Seriously, no one will bother unless you are linguist. They are very particular about that. But ask anybody to form a sentence, they will do it without errors. Ask why is it so, they say it's like that lor.
udontknowme SG the place where i cooked lor the guy left his bedroom door open when he went out for a while
ndmmxiaomayi SG I don't believe all of them have zero knowledge in English. If that's the case, you have to start from ABC.
rainee SG oh this poster looks very familiar... think one of my close frens in my college last time oso has it pasted on her wall...and her bf's room oso got one
ndmmxiaomayi SG In my schooling days, anybody who speaks other languages other than English will have to write lines. When the big Os are nearing, it's even worse. Read, write, eat, sleep, dream and think English. Torture.
rainee SG sigh, but i m not supposed to be teaching basic English leh...if i have to spend most of the lesson explaining word by word to them, then I wun be able to finish teaching all the syllabus le
udontknowme SG but even in real life, i read write dream and think in english already wow...your school is STRICT
ndmmxiaomayi SG Then you've got to prepare a new set of tutorials... starting from ABC. That's the time where most teachers hate.
