Our third class turned out to be a lot of
fun. This was mostly because of the weekly topic (which was abilities and
obligations) and also because we had two visitors – my sister and Professor
Silvia. After spending two weeks talking about the learners and their family
back home, it was nice to introduce them to my sister and share stories about
my family with them. This class allowed us as teachers to get to know our
learners a lot better – what their hobbies are, what they’re good at, and what
they aren’t good at too!
The topic for the week was abilities and
obligations, and so we focused on getting everyone to talk about themselves and
share two things they can do, and two things they can’t do. This activity was
extremely fascinating and informative – we found out that we have many singers,
dancers, cooks, etc. in class.
All of our activities for the lesson involved the learners communicating with each other and using English more interactively. It was nice to see them become more confident in speaking English, while also having fun. There was a lot of giggling and joking - something we enjoyed, because it showed that our learners were comfortable with us. This is a huge improvement from our first class, when they stood up every time we asked them a question and insisted on calling us Sir and Madam!
At the end of class, there was a huge photo session with Abaan - all the learners had brought their phones or cameras along and wanted to take pictures with him. We even got some group photos before walking them back out to the parking lot:
