Training at the Tara Centre

3 October 2008

My first attempt at delivering an English lesson to Ethiopian children watched by the teachers and staff of the Tara Centre. It went well until I asked Meleshew for some translation – this took an inordinate amount of time and I finally suspected that Meleshew was enjoying herself and had in fact taken over the lesson. The teaching staff took this as their opportunity to come back in and within a very short period my demonstration lesson had deteriorated into a team teaching session involving about six adults.
