TESOLated

I have been TESOLated! For the last 10 days my world has been overwhelmed by my pursuit of a qualification to teach English as a foreign language. Whether I survive the next 20 days is more the issue than whether I actually pass the exam, but let me tell you this is no walk in the elysian fields of education.

While bloggable episodes pass by such as the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, I am joined at the hip of grammar. Gist, compound nouns, blind infinitives and continuous past particples, collocations, idiom and the various nuts, bolts, fly wheels, pistons and palaver of the machinery of our language

Fascinating really. Hopefully I will soon be able to cut loose on my happy memories of the Fall of the Wall......
.....in the meantime its back to the subject, object and meaning of the English Language as the world's lingua franca
