PHOTO ESSAY: FIELD TRIP

11/22/2016

During our excursion, Van suggested undertaking the English lesson we had planned, which involved collecting items from the forest to compare using the target language. However, there seemed to be a general feeling of lethargy among the group of teachers and rousing anyone to perform such tasks seemed out of the question.
It was a pleasant field trip, but it left Van and I worried at how easy it is here for them to brush off their lesson. Because our teacher trainee is also their friend, there is a distinct lack of authority. He describes his role as a leader not a teacher, because of the negative connotations he has with the word "teacher". However, I feel that a teacher should generally be a facilitator, but also a task-master. Without encouragement, few people would chose to study over doing something ‘fun’ or ‘relaxing.’ Even with 4 foreigners present, there was very little English spoken over the course of the outing.
