http://thenikku.blogspot.com/2011/07/regional-culture-reflection.html
Reflecting on ESL/EFL and its relation to faith. Thursday, July 28, 2011. As some of you know, I used to joke that coming from Iowa, California. Was a different country.

At least in my experience in the last two weeks, people in the Nagoya. Area seem to be much more outspoken than people were in Aomori. I find. A somewhat sub...

the nikku: A stressful day at work
http://thenikku.blogspot.com/2012/06/stressful-day-at-work.html
Reflecting on ESL/EFL and its relation to faith. Friday, June 22, 2012. A stressful day at work. So, this morning at work was more stressful than I was expecting. You would think that junior high students would be the most stressful part of the job, but in my experiences here so far, it's usually got more to do with the adminstration. Every day takes grace and strength from outside myself. It kind of takes you by surprise sometimes. Posted by Nick @ 6/22/2012 10:30:00 PM. Links to this post:.

Reflecting on ESL/EFL and its relation to faith. Monday, April 02, 2012. End of my Elementary School Era. It was short, only 3 months, but I was surprised. How much I loved my job teaching elementary school students in rural. Here are a few things I noticed in my three months:. 1) teachers set the mood for elementary school students. If you as the teacher say something is hard, students think its hard. If you say something is fun, they think its fun. Dont start yourself. Into my teaching from now on.

Reflecting on ESL/EFL and its relation to faith. Saturday, August 26, 2006. My first week of teaching english has been a learning experience. The shift key here is broken. First a few notes on japanese high school. the students have a homeroom which they stay in all day. the teachers share one large office for each year, each teacher - except for me - teaches only one grade. grade and year are synonymous in this story. But the freshman are harder. i teach all the freshman english classes, and they ha...

the nikku: long overdue reflection
http://thenikku.blogspot.com/2012/10/long-overdue-reflection.html
Reflecting on ESL/EFL and its relation to faith. Monday, October 15, 2012. I havent reflected on my own teaching for quite a while now, and feel. Like I really need to. Especially after going to the JALT conference. For English teachers in Japan on Saturday, I have a lot of ideas to. Filter through. Many of these ideas have also been inspired by the book. Group Dynamics in the Language Classroom by Dornyei and Murphey. For starters, my students were great for the most part last semester. Uninterested....
