In addition to my usual business classes at our main campus, I have the opportunity this semester to travel to our remote campus and teach new classes. The 1+ hour trip starts by boarding this bus at 6:45AM:
One of the new classes is “Financial English” with this group of 62 students:
Since there is a very broad distribution of English abilities in this group, it will be interesting to keep them all focused for the entire semester.
My second new class was entitled “Love and Marriage” by the psychology department. With a title like that, it isn’t surprising that 100 students signed up!
This will definitely be a challenge, as many of these students also have marginal English.
But I can’t complain. I could be marching with the incoming freshmen students for most of the first month. As my bus was departing at 5:30PM, they were finally returning from the athletic field and heading for the cafeteria:
Maybe it’s time for new noise cancelling headphones for that bus ride! Hopefully you’re getting some podcasts or audiobooks in…
Wow look at that “army” of students!
