College Chronicles

I think the hardest part of my job is when an appointment is focused on grammar- there are a lot of NNS ((non-native speakers)) students at my college- I love to help them in any way I can, because English is a nightmare of a language to learn. I run into difficulty, though, trying to explain concepts that are just sort of intuitive to me. Trying to describe the intricacies of grammar in a way that they’ll understand it is no easy task, and I spend a lot of my down time teachings myself technical grammar to try and help- I feel less confident about teaching grammar, but I definitely try my best.
