Just about every teacher in Fukuoka has the Genki English Superpack and lots of the teachers very often turn out for GE workshops. So today I figured I’d do all new stuff, something of a bit higher level for people who’ve already seen everything else. But it turned out that there were also loads of people who had come along for the first time! So that was a bit tricky as I hadn’t prepared to do any of the introductions or basics. But even so it was still the best presentation there that day! With good teachers attending, my workshops always seems like time is flying along, but I was watching some of the others and wow, do they drag on or what!! I always look at the audiences faces and as soon as they start to wonder or lose interest, it’s “bang”, change direction or do something new. But maybe it’s better just to talk on even if nobody is listening….. nah, I don’t think so!! I also did the card game today which worked out really well!

Then afterwards it was a planning meeting for tomorrows presentation, a dinner with the publishers and then up till 3 preparing the new visuals for tomorrow.

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!
