Practice and Progress

The Deep Breath

When I told my class they could recite the entire alphabet in less than 20 seconds there was a universal “EHHHHHHHHH?!” accompanied by groans. 

 It warmed my heart to see the smallest member of the class race through her alphabet cards in less than 15 seconds. Somehow her tiny fingers were dexterous enough to pull it off. Almost everyone pulled it off.

Once the cheers subsided. I asked how much Student A had practiced that week; she shyly responded “every day.”

The Speed of Practice

There’s no way that practice can make you significantly worse at the thing you’re practicing, I don’t think. If anything, it’ll at least promote a growth mindset as you work to master English.

We’re having another test next week. There’s a rumbling that the benchmark will be less than 18 seconds...

Ordinary World

The rock band Duran Duran circa 1980

Teaching English is fun especially when music is involved. Last week one of my students expressed an interest in the British rock band Duran Duran which catapulted our lesson on adjectives to new heights: What did they look like? How is their clothing? What about their hairstyles? This was the first time Duran Duran made an appearance in my lesson plans, but it's part of what makes this job so fun.

May we all stay hungry as the wolf for new adventures in multi-disciplinary language learning.
