My school has sold all of our textbooks and resources because we have so much debt, so we learn English from two textbooks for the entire English class of 45 people. But it looks like you have to teach in much more difficult circumstances than my teachers. You are doing a good job.Alecnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513626070280090261.post-9360090297675171032009-03-23T22:34:00.000+00:002009-03-23T22:34:00.000+00:00Thank you for your comment.It's really very pity t...Thank you for your comment.<BR/><BR/>It's really very pity that our children must study by this boring methods while there are lot's of books and interesting teaching material in the world. <BR/><BR/>But I must say, that when I tought to the 4th grade pupils I used to use additional material and tried to adapt it to the "regular program". <BR/><BR/>Other issue - it takes more time and energy to teach this way and you can be sure nobody will notice your efforts... So after 4 months I was like a sucked orange with salary 1500 rubles ($50) a month.Amatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808727917739710853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513626070280090261.post-83539893212389324222009-03-12T16:49:00.000+00:002009-03-12T16:49:00.000+00:00Hi Amata!

And I agree with you: in term of taeching the methods are very old and completely unamazing especially for children. I used to teach English in one of the Grozny's schools to the 5th grade pupils and we used to try to make some plays but the Principle did never allow us to go out of the "regular program" established by the Russian Ministry of Education wich meant to be strict and keep some distance between pupils and teachers. So we had to follow this bored methods and finally children lost an interest on English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
