Teach, teach, teach

Everything in my life at the moment is somehow connected to teaching and it's driving me a bit nuts.

I have two English teaching jobs and a few private students which means I spend between 40-45 hours a week preparing for or teaching English.

One those jobs requires me to give my students scores and comments after their lessons. Then twice a semester I need to write personal reports for those students.

I'm doing a teaching course so I'm reading books about English teaching, writing assignments about English teaching, designing a questionnaire about English teaching, keeping a reflective teaching diary, watching other people teach English and designing forms to record what I see when I'm observing those lessons.

It's peaking this week as I've got to write the aforementioned reports and I've also been observed as part of my ongoing assessment. Consequently I'll have to watch a video of my own teaching then have a meeting to discuss it.

Oh, almost forgot. My girlfriend is training to be a highschool English teacher and currently works part time. So quite often she has English teaching questions to ask me when I get home too.

First time I've tried writing this on my phone so I hope it works and the picture isn't tiny.
