"What Makes a Great Teacher"--an ABC News Video
In Have a Little Faith, a book by Mitch Albom which I was reading this afternoon, is a poignant passage that kept me deep in thought. The author wrote about how he felt on his way out of a crumbling church for the homeless on a chilly winter day.
"On my way out, I took one last peek into the gym. I heard the steady hum of the blowers and saw the shadowy bumps under blankets, some lying still, some tossing slightly. It's hard to express what hit me then, except the thought that every one of those bumps was a man, every man once a child, every child once held by his mother, and now this: a cold gym floor at the bottom of the world." (p. 174)
The words broke my heart when the images flashed through my mind. What if these people had met a great teacher in their life? Would it have made a difference or were they destined to suffer?
Then this evening I came across this enlightening video for all teachers.

Activities for Teaching the Future Tense
This evening, my dear friend Annie told me about an activity a colleague of hers used when teaching the future tense. She asked her students to write a letter to their future self five years from now. It souned interesting. Then online I found the same activity used not to teach the language pattern, but as a self-monitoring, goal-setting exercise.

"21 Emotions for Which There Are No English Words"--an Online Article
I once asked a relative who grew up in the States how we say 嫵媚 in English, and she told me she couldn't think of a proper word. The following article from POPSCI deals with a similar problem in the English language.

21 Emotions For Which There Are No English Words [Infographic]
That sort of painful, sort of bittersweet, sort of wistful feeling you get looking out the window or driving at night or listening to a far-off train whistle? There's a word for that in Japanese.

Teaching English as a Skill, Rather Than a Subject
Yesterday I said in my blog that English should be used in English class as a tool of communication, which I tried my best to do when I was teaching. The effect may not be seen soon, but it will reach far. Here is a text message I got late last night from the former angel student who, as I mentioned in yesterday's blog, was fresh from college and got a new job, along with the other two.

Happy New Year!--"New year revellers welcome 2013 with fireworks"--A BBC News Report
Happy New Year!
The news report given by BBC as follows comes along with a video presenting fireworks display in different places around the globe: Auckland, Sydney, Pyongyang, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Moscow, Dubai, Berlin, Edingburgh, London, Rio de Jeneiro, and New York. Among all these, my favorites are the ones in Hong Kong (01:54), London (04:48), and Rio de Janeiro (05:17). The display in Dubai (03:26) looks like the one in Taipei 101.
