Day with ESLearners

Hello to my blog... haha... it's been a long time since I created my post ....
Well, I'm here in Cebu, taking my ESL Training; after three weeks of it, we now have the hands on.... application of our learnings. Whew! now, I am teaching.... first day, I thought it was a disaster.. but it wasn't... Things just went well. However, not all of my students showed up for the first... maybe because it was holiday... Labor Day :-)
I have three students, not so bad for a start ;-) Geezz... it's just that it is so hard when you are so use with the people who can converse to you fluently in English. My students are having difficulties with the language. Well, they will not be in my class; if they are not good, are they? ;-) But their desire to learn is the thing that motivates me to help them. They travel miles just to have a free tutorial class... and with that, I don't want to fail them. In my part, I'm struggling too because I want to help them ... correct them as to improve their English in a non-threathening way. It's a challenge for me on how to reach out and teach them. With the challenge on my part, I have to look out for effective ways in teaching them.
Tomorrow.... I'll be standing again in front of my students... I just pray that the Lord will be the one to help me in every step of this TESOL.
