 Re: What level of English should a non-naive teacher have?
Wow!! This topic is doing great! Yeah most of the students have grown up with ideas from their parents about other countries of the world -usually very absurd ideas. One chinese student in Beijing walked up to me after class and asked what people drank in Africa since there was no water. And then went further to explain to me how it was the hot sun of the desert in Africa that had turned our bodies so black. I was completely lost as I stood there listening to this young guy lecturing me on how I became black!!!
It's a little consoling to know that some other persons out there are going through similar situations.
Keep coming! |
