English Only Policy Revisited

Dear students,

It has been your fifth week of classes for this semester. I've really enjoyed all my classes; mainly because I love teaching although I need to teach for 23 hours per week. It's considered as heavy teaching load but it's not a big problem for me as I don't have to think about administrative work as compared to when I held a post before. I could now think of more effective and creative way to improve my teaching methods.

Over the years, I've reflected and evaluated on what works and what doesn't. I'll keep doing activities that I found enjoyable as well as educational. I like to give a lot of opportunities for all my students to use English in all skills, not just listening to me. For this reason, I'm very strict about using English all the time whenever we have English class. I'm so upset when you don't respect this by ignoring this rule. I've informed about this rule in my first class for all my classes. Now, I'm going to remind you again. Please read this posting here!

I hope all of you understand my intention. If you want to improve in your English, you really need to show that you are serious about it.

Remember my trademark, "ENGLISH ONLY!"
