Normally day 2 of a 3 day workshop ends on a “will they really be able to do this?” note. But today’s teachers were fine right from the start. It does take a bit of getting used to teaching Genki English, especially the idea that pronunciation and learning something new actually matters, but once you’ve done a couple of lessons, even if it’s just in front of the mirror to yourself, then it becomes a whole lot easier.

It used to be that they could do all of Genki English in a three day workshop, but there’s so much material in the Teachers Pack now, I think it would take a month to get through them all. We also took some videos of games today which I’ll try and get up on the site for you tomorrow, once I figure out how to get HiDef video onto YouTube!

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
