Voulé à Musicale Plage

Voulé à Musicale Plage
I was invited to a company voulé the other day, a barbecue on the beach with the company I work with giving English lessons to adults. The rainy season is reaching its end now, but there are still some strong bursts of rain occasionally, and I was caught...

A Family Christmas

A Family Christmas
This year, the Cooper Christmas commenced, continued and ceased in a rather categorical fashion. We had moments of present-giving and new clothes... Smiles and silly hats... Moments of intense concentration... Games... Screens... Arty-farty photos......

The United Gingdom, a guided tour. From the Palace of Wismmister to Wenstre Game.

The United Gingdom, a guided tour. From the Palace of Wismmister to Wenstre Game.
I've been working on the British monuments and flags with my kids. The test was at the end of last week, just before the holidays which have just started. The moment of truth, when I get to see what they've remembered from my naturally scintillating lesson....

Look at the makis!

Look at the makis!
I teach kids in school, but I also teach adults in a training centre about half an hour away. My current groups belong to a local construction society, so we spend hours talking about excavators, compactors, bulldozers, the difference between a Manitou...

Thank You For A Lovely Christmas Holiday.

Thank You For A Lovely Christmas Holiday.
Family photos. A lovely Christmas was had by all. Lots of people, lots of presents, lots of games, lots of tablet computers. At one point, there were seven of us playing silly games on our various tablets while watching a film. Lots of food, too. A month's...

Whodunnit

Whodunnit
I'm working on crime at the moment with my students. In the first lesson, they came up with crime vocabulary in French and looked up the English words in the dictionary. Experience must have spoken because the first words they said were "rape" and "pedophile"....

A European In Mayotte

A European In Mayotte
In my opinion, healthy food is the best. I don't think junk food is better, because it's too fatty and unhealthy. Personally, I like healthy food because it's full of vitamins, it's more natural. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest or quickest but nevertheless,...

Scientific Minds

Scientific Minds
I've been teaching English to an adult student for about a year and a half now. He's the director of the local branch of an international building and public works company. He has individual lessons twice a week with me, so he's been teaching me all about...

Dramatic

Dramatic
For the last six months, three colleagues and I have been doing a drama workshop with the kids at school. I filed it as a "school project" at the end of last year, so the Vice-Rectorate (high education authority) gave the school a grant of seven hundred...

Right. Where do I start?

Right. Where do I start?
I am frequently asked what my students' level of English is like. It is, after all, their third language after Shimaorese and French... and it's not as though they speak the first two properly. English is very difficult for most of the kids. Their fluency...
