In a continent where baseball and US television is enormously popular, there is considerable enthusiasm for learning English.

Mighty big place, Partner. As Ferdinand Braudel, the great French historian observed, ‘the land dictates the people’, and it is a good idea never to stray too far from this theme. If you want to know what ‘cold’ is then head up to Minneapolis, north of Toronto, in the mid winter. If you want to know what ‘hot and humid is’ then try Orlando in the height of the summer. If you transcribe a line from Los Angles to Miami and turn this into a road trip then the number of different peoples and environments you will encounter is immense. By all means there is a thin veneer of Americanism, and everywhere you will find both McDonalds, and the presence of the Federal Government; however, you shouldn’t let this take your eye off the ball of the fact that the people and environment of...  [Read more]

The more you plan the easier it is to identify what you want to teach and how you want to teach it. A lesson plan has to be flexible and needs a structure to be able to know what to teach now and then. Very rigid lesson plans end up in lots of writing and planning but no action. I do have to make a comment on this unit. Your lesson plan was a little confusing. The lay-out was too...  [Read more]
