Today was the first day back after spring break. I was in Seattle at the TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) Convention, where I picked up lots of good ideas for teaching and learning English, some of which I hope to share with the class in the coming days and weeks.
We are continuing in Quest Chapter 6 and beginning a chapter on adverbial clauses. The students appeared rested and ready to work hard in the second half of the semester. I was disappointed that six students did not come to class today, however. I can't understand how they expect to improve their English enough to pass the class if they do not attend and participate!

Welcome come back, it's so happy that you will give us more different ways to improve our
English. I think that following the ways that you give us is the best solution to pass the test. I strongly believe it!!
(I am sorry that I can't log in my former blog so far, I will try to create another one in this week unless I get the way to figure it out.)
