it has been a long time since i have been in the blog world. i somehow lost the inspiration to write.
i love writing and i put all my imagination, humor and knowledge juices to write a good blog entry. It gives me pride and happiness when i write a good article. i had lost this touch and it is sleeping inside. i am now trying to revive that feeling.
Currently my company is trying to help the chinese staff in my company who are from mainland china and there english is not up to par, many times we get problems comunicating. i have been selected by my boss to conduct English lessons in the office once a week, to teach them how to write good e-mails, how to talk to customers and basic communication technique. I am now looking for methods to make these lessons entertaining at the same time enriching.
last week we had a session on e-mailing and i know it sucked big time, cos it was boring. For me to present it as well. At the end of the day what matters is that they take back something and use it, and it should have a positive improvement. please my readers give me sum suggestions to teach English.

Glad to see you posting :)
Probably you can try out something with the thesauraus .. like say .. you can choose a better choice of words for a commonly used word and then try using them in a mail ..
May be u can play some word games ;) Or play a skit with some random words that each one chooses from a dictionary!
And welcome back! :)
Shalini: The thesaurus is something i would rather ban them from using, cos in the name of making it bombastic they are losing the meaning of what they want to say!
ponnarasi: the skit is interesting. it feels good to be back
Hi Vasanthan,
thats a good opportunity with challenge! I guess you can make the best use of it.
I second Shalini here. I also follow the same. It is like practising few more words for a same context and using it sparingly.
Additionally, training them with few phrases may be of good use as it would speak out what you intend to say.
Good luck!
Good welcome...........
