body language

HO brah, I wen hit one home run in da teaching department today!

I taught my last Oral English lesson of the semester, and it happened to be my best lesson yet, as well as the one that Sandy, my laobanr from the Peace Corps, came to observe.

The topic: body language.
The message: NO BE SHAME fo talk to foreigners cuz your English stay good enuff. and even if you dunno how fo express yourself in words, just let your body talk fo you, cuz there's a good chance da foreigner will get da gist of what you trying fo say.

You see, the main problem my students have is not bad English, but a lack of confidence in their ability to communicate.

On days like today, I have trouble thinking of any job that trumps teaching.
