Yesterday I taught the new production department employees, our future factory workers, and I was surprised how much more relaxed they were. \u00a0The 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. \u00a0This time I could feel the difference of two months of training and coming to the factory every day. \u00a0They had started making friends with each other and they seemed more comfortable in general.<\/p>\n
And that made my lesson that much better. \u00a0It felt like they did a lot more in class, they tried hard to answer my questions, and the class went very smoothly. \u00a0I’m already looking forward to teaching them again in one month. \u00a0The only downside is that their classroom doesn’t appear to be air conditioned. \u00a0Gotta remember to bring a towel next time to wipe up the inevitable sweat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
