One of my students’ favorite discussion topics in class is sports. Currently the men’s soccer team and the women’s volleyball team are doing well, and everyone seems to be following along. I’m more of a hockey and baseball guy, but I’ve got to keep up for the sake of discussion. Luckily the results are all over the place the next day, so I can usually figure out who won by reading the front of the newspapers that other train passengers are reading.
My students seem to be getting into the routine of the class, so I’m going to shake them up next week. I’m planning to have them do a situational role play next time integrating all the skills they have learned so far. It should be a creative exercise, so I’m looking forward to it. The trick with the students that just entered the company is that they are not so proactive about learning. They are used to having someone just talk and talk, and they write down the notes. This creative exercise should be a good test of how they react.
I’ll post the results next week…
