[absentiment]

Hi, I'm teaching at a university in China, and pretty new to teaching at that. The method you described is almost spot on what I do in my classroom on most days (I use my laptop and play recorded mp3 files instead), but I was afraid it was too dry or boring for my students (and so I've mixed in games and outdoor lessons occasionally). Seeing it verified from someone else is very helpful though, and thank you for that.
