Greetings,

He's off to Zhuhai near Macau tomorrow for an international TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course from 3-28 July. Intensive learning, study, making new friends and exploring inner and outer landscapes.

Teachers-in-training focus on educational learning theories, grammar, teaching practice and how to activate each student's holistic intelligence.

How humans learn to utter profound second language (L2) insights by imitation, modeling, with real-life situational role play. It comes down to meaningfulness, relevance and variety.

Students initially questioned my intentions. "What? You're going to school to be a better teacher?"

The timing and opportunity is perfect for getting TEFL certified, learning things we know we knew and learning things we didn't know we needed to know. It's just one of those essential professional investments. Carpe Diem.

"How can I know what I think until I see what I say?" said the 8-year old linguist.

Peace.
