646. Look, they're doing better and better!




One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “One teacher used to praise their students for their struggling and effort to improve their studying and learning. He was quite demanding with the students.



However he knew how to reckon the students’ work. Passing the exams was crucial, but at the same time he praised his students’ striving to better their study and their coursebook exercises: he gave importance to this increasing struggle to improve. Grades were not the only important thing: he tried to teach his students to become better persons and become more and more autonomous learners: in this way the students just wished to study, to learn new things, to practice communication in English - at least he accomplished this with quite a nice number of the students in their class-groups.



If some student failed an exam, all right: this teacher let him analyze his errors and face up with his next exam.” / Photo from: autokton-world blogspot com. These people are skiing in Sierra Nevada, here in Granada, where I live.
