I’m a 61-year-old teacher with a 40-year background in teaching at multiple levels across various disciplines, in a variety of cultural settings, in a number of different countries.
I’m being asked to complete a course whose relevance, worth and usefulness I doubt. My compliance is demanded. I’ve not been granted any autonomy as regards the design of this project. It is a governmental and institutional requirement. I’ve not been invited to demonstrate prior knowledge, nor recognition of my experience and achievements.
In such a milieu, is it any wonder that I’ve failed to find traction for my ‘heretical’ language-learning notions?
