Yesterday I taught the new production department employees, our future factory workers, and I was surprised how much more relaxed they were. Â The last time I taught them they were fresh from high school and plenty nervous about not only studying English but also about working at a new company. Â This time I could feel the difference of two months of training and coming to the factory every day. Â They had started making friends with each other and they seemed more comfortable in general.
And that made my lesson that much better. Â It felt like they did a lot more in class, they tried hard to answer my questions, and the class went very smoothly. Â I’m already looking forward to teaching them again in one month. Â The only downside is that their classroom doesn’t appear to be air conditioned. Â Gotta remember to bring a towel next time to wipe up the inevitable sweat.
