Sometimes teachers are caught in situations where they heap praises on students for their effort, yet hold back their honest comments for a job that is not up to mark.
RECENTLY I met up with Lyn, a former colleague whom I hadn’t seen in a number of years. After talking about all the things that had been happening in our respective lives recently, Lyn mentioned that she had been one of the many English teachers who had to attend a series of English language classes as part of the Government’s efforts to improve English language proficiency among teachers of the subject.
