It’s only a couple of years since I started doing the “jissen” workshops where teachers actually teach and then learn from their mistakes. And I think I’ve got quite good at it, what used to take 2 days I can now do in 1. Of course it helps that today’s teachers have been trying to teach English for the last year and were in need of some help. It was almost like the QVC shopping channel the way they were oooing and ahhing at the software!

They actually did quite well, and we also had a nice suggestion of doing the Make a Face game on two boards at once, with the kids telling the person at the board which face parts to draw next!
