Three weeks ago I started teaching English Club one a week for an hour. I only have eight students, which is great because things stay under control and we can get a lot done. I have two students in attendance who already stood out to me in other classes as very dedicated to their studies and who want to learn English for advancement in life (Verionica told me she wants to be a lawyer), some who are normal students who just want to learn English because they feel like it, and one kid who is a bit of a pain in other classes who showed up for the first time this week. Actually, he really isn't that bad. I have the feeling that he acts out to get attention and if he were a student in the States he would have been placed on a school sports team by now to give him some direction.
Today we were finishing up and I gave homework since I have a training next week and there won't be club. The assignment is to write a short introduction about yourself. What's your name, where are you from, how old are you, and what you like. As soon as I wrote "I like" on the board the one boy who can be a pain starts singing "I like to move it, move it". It made my day. Best lesson ever in the past six months. I laughed so hard I started snorting. So in honor of that student, I am posting this video.
