So , I hope you'll like my letter and we'll get closer and closer .
Your pupil
Wadhah
Well , I want to encourage this brilliant pupil for his style of writing .He's in the first secondary form . I usually ask my learners to write to me letters expressing their opinions in whatever subject they like to speak about , or if they want to ask me for advice .And , I write appropriate feedback to them by using their own errors and correcting them implicitly . This technique proved to be fruitful with young adolescents , they share their secrets with me and I never tell their secrets . I feel closer to my learners and they're more relaxed .
RépondreSupprimerBy the way , this letter is published the way the learner wrote it .
Coming to a teacher and talk to him / her about one's private life emanates from a great confidence the student feels. A role the caring teacher will willingly like to play. The role of the CONFIDANT, the LISTENER, the SUPPORTER. What better relationship can we hope to have with our students.
