In response to Thanks, HZ - ESL discussion (Yingwen Laoshi)
I agree. Letting the students teach themselves is key. Remember when your dad or mom gave you the 'birds and the bees' talk? I remember when I got it at twelve. I was bored. Why was I bored? Because I already knew everything about sex by the time I was ten.
How did this happen? After all, my parents hadn't told me about sex, and neither had my afraid-of-the-parents teachers/schools.
I learned about sex from MY PEERS.
Relying on peer-to-peer communication in the classroom can help teach students English as well.
