You also Producer

Bobby gave us a chance to blog in EFL teachers' room. Let's make the best of this, guys.
Do you remember? In student-centered class, students are not only customers but producers for the class.
You are one of the producers of EFL teachers' room. Let's post your blog and comments.
Am I right, Bobby?

Busy, busy, busy, everyday. That's the reality of English teachers. Isn't this a reason you don't post your messages, my friends?

Another reason that prevents you from posting is the fear of making mistakes, right? Let's not afraid of minor errors in writing English. Let's have courage to take a risk. To learn new things, we need to face the risk.

So, at this moment, I want some of you to try asking your students to spend five minutes for writing action log after your classes. Please!

To know how they feel, you can spend 5 minutes for writing what you have done today. How many lines could you write? Five? Ten? That's good!Then, it's your turn to ask your students to take responsibility for their learning. Maybe you need to teach them basic terms of activities in your class.

Hi, my friends. How's life?
I agree with Yuka. Actually, juniour and senior high shcool teachers are busy the other things (about 90%) beside teaching English. Though my school was in a test week last week, I was busy making the frameworks of the school curriculum.
But we English teachers must think about teaching English effectively and keep going on. I don't want to
stop.
So I'm so happy to see this blog and read your ideas. I would like to learn from you all.
In the second term, I want to try something.
Anyway, everyday is busy and hard, but this blog makes me cheeful. I really like this blog.
See you, my friends!
