Where are you teaching now? Have you taught EFL abroad, or are you referencing ESL only? As you are no doubt aware there are critical differences and classroom and administrative dynamics that change from country to country. Well, regardless, you seem to be on a good path and I applaud your efforts.
What are you teaching next to the curriculum? Do you also think we should be very seriously considering what we teach our kids next to our curriculum?
What are we bringing across to our pupils in terms of obedience versus learning to follow your own path, or critical thinking versus having to cram down fact after theory, and creativity versus scoring well in standardized tests?
I think these ideas, the system we work in, and the examples we set as adults are extremely influential to the way they see the world. At least as much as the curriculum we teach. Considering that the world isn't doing too well... perhaps we should re-think what we are bringing across?
Let me know if you are also interested in this!
