#StartingTheSemesterRight When I started teaching, communication skills really became one of the most important things I always wanted my students to acquire and develop. Communication in any context, to anyone. In my quest of teaching "empowered communication skills", fate brought these 4 nice white guys to our classroom. My English Majors were waiting for me for our 1:30pm class (first meeting for the 2nd sem). Suddenly these guys from a hostel-next-door walked-in to our campus wanting to observe how a class in our university is held. My students ushered them to me and told me their request. A student of mine asked me if these guys could join. I gave her an unwavering 'yes'. Good thing that I always have this introductory speaking activity everytime I start a semester. When the guys were already seated, after my talking about some introduction, I candidly asked the 4 of them if they would want to join our activity. It's a speaking activity that makes one reflect on and share an unexpected learning you got in college and its benefits. To cut the story short, my English Majors really started the semester right with so much sharing, so much learning, so much English, and some much communication. I can say that they took the challenge of welcoming our visitors not only "the Filipino way" but also "the English Major way". All the 4 of them are tourists here in Coron--and I think they will surely go home with a good memory of how a university here in Coron, Palawan holds a class, starts a sem, and welcomes 4 nice white guys! ❤📝 #PSUCoron #BSEdEnglish #PSUansRock #ThanksDanielTobiasMatiasandGuyInRed
