So I’m just on Day 3 of a massive teacher training tour of Vietnam.

I made the error on day 2 of trying to do too much teacher training stuff (games, activities, discipline etc.) and not enough motivation work for the teachers to see why we are doing this.

Especially in the middle of a tropical storm, and power cuts, what the teachers really needed was a massive boost of energy and self belief before we hit up the actual techniques.

I blogged more about how I actually do that here.

And for now here’s a quote for those of you doing teacher training (and I guess it applies to adult learners too )  …..

We need to know why we’re going there before we buy the ticket 🙂

P.S.  And just in case you find yourself with a very tired group of teachers in the afternoon the massage game always does the trick 🙂
