Stories of a learning teacher: May 2012
http://ara-bic-pen.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Stories of a learning teacher. Friday, May 25, 2012. The other day i posted one of these shots on facebook. Hundreds (not literally) of people liked it. I am sure that if I had put up some pictures of the workshops i do with teachers there would have been less likes :). It was another great event (three of four for this year), I love them, and I will retain a very strong positive memory of times in my wonderful red tent! Friday, May 18, 2012. Tuesday, May 15, 2012.

Stories of a learning teacher. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Working with faculty from the Arab Open University / الجامعة العربية المفتوحة/. By the human league. And, the accusatory / generalizing tone when people use the definite article before the nationality the English are., the Lebanese are. though I sometime fall into this trap I am consciously trying to avoid it! For me I learnt, among other things:. Not everyone with a role in language teaching speaks 'TEFL', some speak pedagogy or applied linguistic...

Stories of a learning teacher: June 2011

Stories of a learning teacher. Thursday, June 30, 2011. My TEFL existential Identity crisis. Over recent weeks there has been a thread picked up on by David Dogson, Isil Boy and my other colleagues at the University of Manchester, that of having a ten years in ELT crisis. This is not a new phenomenon, and has been reported, though I can't find the reference right now, (help please! I feel reassured by Gary's comments on my previous post, his re-framing of specialisation to specialisation s. It is a good ...

http://ara-bic-pen.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Stories of a learning teacher. Monday, April 25, 2011. I am the secret camera in this classroom. The more I dwell on it, the more I see my position as ethically dubious. However, ahem, if I were a legitimate student-observer, or just an observer, how would I behave? What would I be expected to do? What should I say. What should I do? Elicit things that I felt were bad or didn't like? It seems to be the sanctioned approach to elicit, to get the observed to speak for themselves, to encourage the post-lesso...

Stories of a learning teacher. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Five week pre-sessional course. Image inside Manchester's iconic University Place. Building. Pictured my class, me top right :). For the language centre managers, and co-ordinators, this was by far the biggest pre-sessional course run by the ULC (University Language Centre). There were 90 teachers, ninety! There were a number of other challenges that I faced in this context which I haven't covered. These included:. Enabling learners to deal with o...
