I usually teach late at night, and this is what I was doing last Monday, at around 11 pm. As usually, more than twenty eager-to-learn students were following my phonetics and phonology class.
I was occupied trying to teach them about how physical standing and speaking may affect for or against a foreign accent when speaking English, when I heard a loud, interrupting, laughing burst.....
.....one of the students had found my class so ridiculously funny that could not help making fun of me.
I just went on teaching the class, did not let him break the learning environment. However,
Should have I felt unappreciated by him? Why?
How do you feel when your experience is denied by the same learner?
Probably, a cuppa might help me today...or just a couple of lines from you...
