I'm feeling pretty wiped out after this week and next Friday is the light at the end of the tunnel. Have an assignment and my second last teaching prac for Monday morning but am taking tonight after. Will resume tomorrow morning. Going to rent a movie and have a night in with my Cousin Jaimie.
We looked at writing today as a productive skill and found the following quote really cool -
The writer is a lonely figure cut off from the stimulus and corrective of listeners. He must
be a predictor of reactions and act on his predictions. He writes with one hand tied behind
his back, being robbed of gesture. He is robbed too of the tone of his voice and the aid of
clues the environment provides. He is condemned to monologue; there is no one to help
out, to fill the silences put words in his mouth, or make encouraging noises. (Rosen in
Hedge, 1998: 5)
True for any writer, not just English as a foreign language students.
A Cambridge assessor arrived today to moderate the course and we touched base with him and chatted about our plans for after CELTA. He teaches at The University of the Arts in London.
Thought the quote below from my friend Ingrid rather amusing :)
Bon weekend to all!
