While I’ve been teaching for 2 weeks on the Kosens short-course, other teachers have relieved for my class. But now I’m back.

I’d set classwork: listening and reading—together—to successive four-minute chapters of a graded reader on Youtube. The story is ‘How I Met Myself’.

It seems to have been a success for both students and teachers. They are talking about it as if I’d invented sliced bread.

Sadly, they are struggling with the artificially academic curriculum that has evolved at levels 3 and 4 (my class is at level 2).

If only we could experiment without bureaucratic interference.
