SCHOOL DAYS, SCHOOL DAYS

Class has begun. My students are wonderful and seem to be more eager to learn English than I ever remember being eager to learn anything. My class is Cross-Cultural Communication and is geared towards students who are likely to be traveling abroad at some time in the future. The topics always bring up some interesting conversations and I usually walk away having learned more than I have taught. We also have three conversation groups through the week (a chance for students to practice their English in a less formal setting). Today was our first one and we covered a broad range of topics from favorite foods (which included noodles, pizza and snake) to mountain climbing (which one of my students is doing over this coming holiday week) and sights of interest in China.

Here are some pictures of my students . . .
