BIG FREAKING UPDATE IN MY LIFE

Okay y’all I know I’ve been mainly using Twitter, WeChat Moments, and other Chinese social media as my way to keep track with the outside world, but it’s time for my Tumblr fans to find out WHAT’S UP WITH ABDULLAH!!!

So I have been accepted, officially, as a English adjunct instructor AND research fellow at Northwest University of China ( 西北大学, Xibei Daxue)

Now if you motherslices don’t know what NWU (Xibei) is, it’s considered part of the Project 211 ( 211工程 ) network of elite Chinese universities. NWU is partnered with Syracuse University, Baylor University, Southern Utah University, University of Bristol, and Osaka University. (For my ATLiens following my blog, this is like me being promoted from Georgia Gwinnett College to Emory University).

Not only will I be TEFLing to undergrads, but I’ll have the ability to travel around Shaanxi Province for special research trips, write, and get published in both Chinese and English-language academic journals. Oh yeah, and I’m getting a pay raise and they’re moving me to an apartment in a nice part of downtown.

Good thing is, the university’s historical archives are completely declassified and open to all faculty, so I can take a look at the documents related to the Red Guard groups at NWU (mainly the NWU Red Guards Revolutionary Rebel Headquarters General Command and the NWU Proletarian Cultural Revolution Committee). Dang y’all. To quote RMR: “This much I know It’s true I came up And so can you And fuck the boys in blue.”

Notable Teaching Moments

A kid asks me “Sensei what’s this” and then just. pokes me in the boob.

Ask a kid to draw his favourite fruit. He draws a dinosaur.

Learning to say “how old are you” / “I’m X years old”. One kid comments (in Japanese) “my mum is 1 year old”.

Reading a dictation about children’s day. The kids are delighted when I repeatedly fail to pronounce koinobori and take it upon themselves to teach me

Get mobbed by five-year-olds screaming “ANKOORU! ANKOORU!” until I fall over (I later learn this means “encore” and they basically wanted to play the game again)

Teaching a particularly rowdy class and it is hard. fucking. work. At the end, one kid turns to me and says “sensei, otsukaresama deshita” (which translates to something like “thank you for your hard work”)

Proudly show the kids my kanji practice. They gasp in horror. “Sensei! they’re terrible!” Says one.

“Okay everyone, touch something BLACK!” I shout. One five-year-old touches my black jeans in the form of slapping my ass.

One kid can’t write his name. I hold his crayon with him and we write it together. He spends the rest of the lesson not doing the colouring or the fun workbook activity, but just tracing his fingers over the letters and saying his name slowly and grinning.

It’s parent observation week. All the kids have a parent in the room and understandably choose to sit with Mum/Dad. Apart from one kid, who chooses my lap over Dad’s, even though every single week he cries and wants his Pappa for the first 10 minutes of class.

Kids are talking about Pokemon. I chime in. They’re noticeably shocked that I understand. I tell them I like Charizard. “Eeh Charizard’s weak! I like Pikachu!” One kid says. Charizard is objectively stronger than Pikachu on many levels, but I don't argue.

At the start of the class kids are doing a phonics activity. They have to choose whether word starts with C or G. One of the words is “gum”. despite the word being more or less the same in Japanese, an alarming number of kids write “cum”.

Kids are counting points at the end of class. Because they’re 11-year-old boys, they find it hilarious when I get to the number six. “Sex. Sex. Sensei, sex,” they say repeatedly.

I ask the kids how old they think I am. "72" says one of them. I’m in my early thirties.

I help one new kid write their name. Suddenly, all the kids who’ve been coming for months and can definitely write their name promptly forget and I have to help all 11 of them.

💫The Best of Both Worlds: Astrology in the Classroom (Pt. 1) 🏫

If you ever want to see absolute chaos in a classroom, do a basic (sun signs only) astrology lesson. Then, ask your students to guess what you are at the very end.

I teach senior high school/pre-university, and it was a very needed break! My students had an excuse to talk about personal topics ahead of a busy exam season.

In my EFL (English) and FLE (français) classes, astrology was their most memorable lesson this school year. No one remembered the signs in a foreign language, though!! It might take some time as this was more of a fun lesson.

When I asked my students and colleagues to guess my sign, they said:

Aries student: "You're the lion, your hair is like one."

Pisces student: "You're the water pot. All the other teachers are!!" (Half of the teachers in my department are Aquarius folks)

Virgo language teacher: "Definitely a Scorpio." (His Venus and Mars are conjunct in Scorpio)

Several Aquarius language teachers in unison over donuts: "Libra?"

Scorpio language teacher after the Aquarius language teachers: "Beer? Wine? Snacks? Those are signs, right?"

Oldest Aquarius language teacher: "Psychic? Psycho? Crazy? Isn't there something that starts with C?"

Capricorn colleague: "The wife sign? My future wife?"

Taurus history teacher: "A dictator? What is that dude's sign? You know, the violent one? Are you vodka or soju?"

Cancer PE teacher: "Pretty? The big fish? Pie? You are pretty pie?"

Out of a few hundred students and several dozen colleagues, no one got my sign right!! 😢 However, they got my Venus, Mercury, Mars, and other aspects. Perhaps it's because I'm at the other end of the world from my birthplace.

Soon, I'll post more about my EFL/FLE classes and experiences. I teach in a country that doesn't use English often and is at a significant crossroads with AI and language education.

If you want any classroom resources for this kind of lesson, just message me!

「できた」の件

僕は外国語指導助手、つまりALTとして日本の小学校で働いていた。まぁ、実はまだそうだけど、プライベートのことやし、詳しくはやめとこう。

ある日、放課後に廊下で2人の1年生に話しかけられた。っていうか、柱でろくに隠くれていない彼らに見かけられた。

「うわ〜、英語の先生や！」

ちっちゃい声なのに、ちゃんと聞こえた。シャイで恥ずかしか��たやろう。1年生だもん。僕に興味持ちそうなきっかけで、声の源を探してすぐに見つけた。好奇心が満々と光っている目に向けて、優しい笑顔で丁寧に手を振った。英語での挨拶もするところだった。いつもの習慣や。小学校1年生は外国語授業がまだ少ないけど、例外は絶対なし。僕が英語の先生というものだから、英語で挨拶することに決まっているんや。

「Hello!」

ちっちゃい声をもっかい聞こえた。勇気がある少年が一人に柱の影から出て、僕のセリフを完全に盗んだ。

「Hello!」

僕がちょっと驚いたままにセリフを取り戻した。少年がにっこり笑った。「そんなに恥ずかしくないかも…英語練習のチャンスや！」 僕は思った。最近1年生の授業はなかったから、どこまで知っているかよく知らないにしても、「How are you?」 に会話を進めようとした。

…けど、まだ遅い。

「See you!」

と、ちっちゃい声を持っている少年が恥ずかしさに負けたように、柱の影に戻って、きちんと隠った。喋りたくない英語学習者が英会話をさせられることが残酷だと思っているし、僕は追わなかった。「ちょっと勿体ないけど、しょうがないな…」と、すこしがっかりしていた僕が職員室に戻ろうとした。数歩取ったら、最後にもう一度そのちっちゃい声が聞こえた。っていうか、今回こそ大きい声がはっきり聞こえた。

「始めての英語会話できたー！」

と歓声して、2人の少年がくすくす笑いながら、運動場へノリノリに走り出した。

勿体ないと思うなんて、���ずかしい限りやな。

Hello! I'm Drew, and as the story suggests, I live and work in Japan. I'm trying to pass the N1, and I figured a little writing practice couldn't hurt! Sorry if the grammar or phrasing is kind of a mess, I'm much better at reading Japanese than speaking or writing. Feel free to give some (gentle!) tips for improvement.

I chose the title 「今日じゃないの日記」 for this series because, ideally, it will be a bunch of random stories from my time in Japan that happened a while before today, but are meant to give the feeling of everyday life here as any 日記 would. No idea if it's a grammatically correct title, but even if it isn't, I'm sure that just adds to its charm as the blog of a Japanese L2 writer. Hopefully the stories will be interesting either way!

I like this story in particular because as an ALT you don't always necessarily feel useful or like your time is well spent, and getting deep into a second language you don't always feel like you're making progress. But I found it to be a very encouraging moment for both of these endeavors. It was something small, but it obviously meant a lot to him. If that kid can be satisfied by succeeding in one four-word conversation, then I should be happy to be able to write an entire account of it using whatever Japanese I can muster. I encourage anyone reading this to feel the same about their own studies!

I know I called it a series, but that's purely optimism. This honestly might end up being a one-off, but if not, I'll write up another one when my mood, time, and ADHD allow for it. Thanks!

(P.S. I'm also very new to tumblr and wrote this on mobile, so sorry if the formatting or anything is weird! I just kind of took a stab at it.)

ESL class will really show you how ridiculous our language is to try and learn. Like yeah, why DO we say "take a bath" when it's autonomous and "give a bath" when it's about taking care of a baby or a pet. We don't say "give myself a bath" unless it's a real and usually vaguely ironic emphasis on self care. It's not the natural flow of the words, but nor do we use the verb "bathe" in everyday speech.

#The teacher partners me with her problem students #And those problem students are very smart they just want to focus more on natural sounding language #They don't want to answer 'yes I did' and 'no I didn't' #They want to answer 'no I did this other thing instead' or 'yes I did it before coming to class' #The problem is (for one of them) that he keeps speaking up with suggestions of more expansive ways to respond #But because he hasn't actually learned them yet he ends up derailing #And he likes attention so he doesn't get too apologetic about it #It's better that I sit with him and do the work with him because I'll have time the teacher doesn't to explain some of those things #He drives the teacher crazy precisely because the inability to do individual work is her least favorite part of doing a class #I can relate #I'm much better one on one #adventures in tefl

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

it amazes me that no one reads your pinned post or bio. every day I am cringing at the requests when it is so clearly closed or the asks about if you like certain things when it’s clearly stated that you don’t. so sorry you have to deal with that dude. people see what they wanna see ig???

I'm a simple soul. I try to be patient, tolerant, all that hippie shit as my late grandpa would say. It's just that sometimes I need to slip a little snarkiness out or I'd just be an asshole 100% of the time as opposed to like 30-40% of the time.

I can plead for ppl to scan my header or read my rules and shit as much as I want, but I know it's not guaranteed to work no matter how much/often I do lol. Them's the breaks 🤷‍♀️

I try to be nice tho on here. I'm more rude and abrasive on Twitter like most ppl who use it I think, just bc I use it for 3 things: cool art, cute animals, and bitching/yelling at ppl over dumb irrelevant bullshit. But Tumblr is for frens and writing stuff 💖

#it does make me brainstorm new lessons and approaches to reading comprehension #thats the TEFL/certified English teacher in me tho lol #.sillyshit #sloot bitches about things #and tbf most ppl arent doing it to be rude. like i post the pic of my header with the arrows and theyre like #'oh sorry! i didnt notice sorry disregard that request' #i dont think ive ever gotten someone being insistent on it or a dick...yet 👀

My TEFL Journey In a nutshell

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Almighty, in the 2nd last year (2021), I have passed the 198 hours Level 5 TEFL certification course (168 guided hours + Teaching English online 30 hours) from The TEFL Academy. For those, who might want to know, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) involves teaching English abroad or online where English is not the primary language. TEFL educators can work for international and global schools, foreign companies, international organizations and associations, and internationally recognized universities, just to name a few. You can read more about my adventures in  Fahadventure.

I have been thinking about doing this since 2018, just after my Graduation from the Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka University (IBA, DU), Bangladesh, but could not really focus much as I got involved in corporate culture, after joining an event management company, namely Asiatic Experiential Marketing Limited. Later on, in May,2019, I joined a locally reputed bank, BRAC Bank where I continued to work for two and a half years. In the meantime, the overall lockdown phases during 2020 and 2021 finally came as a blessing among all those office workloads, few trips and some personal hassles which motivated me once again to work from home and pursue my dreams. This certificate is just like a passport to travel the world while I'll start working on attaining the visa i.e jobs abroad once it reopens. For now, I am exploring the online possibilities to start with. Check out the vacancies for better exploration.

Just after leaving the job of my previous organization, BRAC Bank, I got the opportunity to join a global platform within few months, named as "Native Camp" where my everyday work nowadays involves teaching and talking people online, mostly from China, Japan & Taiwan and I can't even explain how happy I am right now to have those sessions and exchange our thoughts with fun while doing so. I am also an avid learner and traveler with interest in knowing cultures and norms from all around the globe. I have worked for a very short time in this period with Lingua Roma, a global teaching company where I had to work with South Africans, Russians, French, Kenyans etc. Apart from that, while traveling in various parts of India and Thailand, I resided in the local hostels and houses to mingle with mixed races and know more about them. You can have a look at my teaching profile.

Being a TEFL tutor is a great way to build transferable skills, like communication, creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership etc. It's been a tiring journey with lots of obstacles since I didn't know who to connect with for suggestions; specially anyone from my country. So, I had to look for international blogs, knock random people and gain idea on this. I would humbly request to expand my knowledge if anyone wants to know & explore this beautiful world together. I'll be writing other detailed posts about my journey and other tefl course online, tefl jobs in the coming days. For now, you can look the official website if it fits your budget. Please keep me in your prayers so that I can smoothly advance towards my dream journey, not just by sitting at a corner of the office. Thank you all. Soooo excited! 🤩

Hi everyone!

I’m a new teacher as the name probably suggests, a qualified tefl teacher with only a year of teaching experience under my belt, but it has been an experience I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and planning to grow in the future.

My plan is to teach abroad (ideally in east Asia) for some time, and to grow in my experience and credentials.

While I am a native English speaker, I know from personal experience that language barriers can be very difficult for people to get past. Those who don’t understand English grammar and pronunciation can often struggle to have their voices heard and taken seriously; they are often falsely assumed to be ignorant and unintelligible by many who speak English natively. But the truth is that learning English is no different than any other language, and I hope that I can help you gain confidence and understanding in the future.

It’s nice to meet you all, and I hope to grow through all this just as you do!
