WHAT'S UP ?
… is a modern way of asking
"What are you doing?" or "What are you up to?"
Actually it's a salutation and
you don't necessarily have to
answer but you CAN also,
answer but you CAN also,
especially if the person saying it
is actually asking you
is actually asking you
and is genuinely interested in knowing
"What have you been doing recently?" or
"What has been happening in your life recently?"
FOR ME, these days, I've been particularly busy with organizing the new ESL groups that will start on February 1st. It's not an easy task trying to satisfy everybody's needs. Everyone mentioned here being: YOU and ME and UTA.
Your needs as a student, what you are expecting, what you want, where you are with your basic knowledge of the language, your time or your time requirements.
As a teacher I need to pursue what I have already started with students, my pedagogical needs and getting groups to interact because of their level of English and to welcome all the new students and inquire about their backgrounds.
And last but not least, the criteria that has been established by our regional organism of UTA; that is their requirements of a 'first come , first serve' basis. Then there is the availability of locals and classrooms that play into the schedule.
So as you can see there is a lot going on BEHIND THE SCENE!!! And that is why today I am sharing this with you because I may not be as available as I was to write on my blog. But don’t worry, when the ball gets rolling there will be enough ‘going on’ that it will feed this blog!!
THAT IS WHAT’S UP!!!
