I've been considering mentioning that these updates are approximately weekly. That's sort of the intent. I have a list going of things I want to think through anyway, the writing process assists with the thought processing, and you my dear reader, have something to ponder or enjoy depending the piece of writing.
1. Who says you can't teach more than just language in an ESL environment?
One of the students in my adult class has a masters degree in physics. The class discussion started with where one might like to live. He mentioned at a space station and well, one thing led to another and it became very clear that an explanation of the theory of relativity was in order. This individual is usually a little quiet when it comes to more ordinary English language topics, but he did a great job explaining relative theory to the class. :) A great impromptu speech. I love it when I get an opportunity to direct class in such a way that learning beyond mere language practice occurs.
