Pray in English

" 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

Amen

Translation

The Times has covered Ruth Kelly’s call to local authorities to encourage immigrants to learn English instead of routinely translating documents into foreign languages.
Kelly, who is Communities Secretary, said translation has become used too often and can be a ‘crutch’ which discourages integration. The practice of routine translations means that new immigrants can avoid learning English, she argued. "

I Am Back...

Haya for all my visitors.
I was out on my beautiful holiday, I would say...the best of the best.
But fortunately, I am back and happy as always to share some experiences with you...
Visiting another blog I was questioned about teaching and learning. Have you thought about this complex process?
Lets meditate about our performance, the student's response and in the process in itself.
