Thank you,Chaya! Every day I learn something new here!
I feel most alive while being with earnest,ambitious and intelligent students in a traditional classroom!!! I suppose it's very similar to what you feel,but my approach to teaching is very different from yours! I consider myself as an intercultural conversationist. I seldom use the verb 'teach' in Poland when I talk to other local people because that's not what I do at all. Teaching is more of Polish teachers' responsibilites,I as a 'native speaker teacher'(they use this term for all non-Polish teachers) focus more on their speaking and writing skills. That means I get to discuss any topics I want if there's no textbook or time strain for me!;) I make them feel motivated interacting with me. When they're very involved in what we discuss or debate on, they tend to forget they're using a foreign language... And at that moment,I feel most alive because they forget themselves and all the limitations,interpretations,self-awareness,and etc!!! Most of all,at that point,they find dictionary useless(LOL) and I can tell they have achieved something higher from then on!
