What about teaching?

Yeah, that's a good question. We were scheduled to start teaching this week, when the freshmen are coming in. Laura had her lesson plan prepared with 140 copies of handouts, all ready for to meet and teach the new incoming students tomorrow at 7am, but we just received an email saying classes have been canceled this week because the Foreign Languages Dept has not "received the total students for each K33 class from A1." (don't worry, we don't understand it either) So, maybe next week. We hope we can get started soon or else the whole schedule gets crunched toward the end and we'll have to make up classes because the end date does not move.

Laura has been assigned to teach English Pronunciation Practice to 3 incoming freshmen classes; Karen was assigned to teach Speaking to one incoming freshmen class; and I Speaking to 3. If we don't get assigned more later on, this work load is pretty good compared to what I had last year--one prep and 9 periods in class per week. We may be assigned later on to teach some TOEFL classes to teachers, which was what happened last year. We've also been told to help run an English club on campus.
