We’ve just come through a rather gruelling week of practical teaching and paper writing, so this morning we were all a bit slap happy. At one point, we brought some of the “friendlies” in to practice demonstrating and eliciting some words . . . now that we’ve all “arrived” at being almost real teachers. At one point, our teacher Natalie was trying to get them to understand the word “epitome” (mind you, these are beginning/intermediate English students). Below is a direct transcript of what happened:
Natalie: Who is the perfect woman?
Carlos: Shakira
Natalie: Why is she the perfect woman?
Carlos: her eyes
Natalie: What else?
Carlos: her hair
Natalie: What else?
Carlos: her hips don’t lie
