On the teaching front:
Today I decided to stop feeling sorry about my student’s alphabet problems. We’ll continue to work on it. But in the meantime, I’m going to integrate some realia* into our lessons. This week, we’re working on how to fill out basic forms—i.e. library card applications, etc. I’m actually excited. My student was very, very pleased. I’m pretty sure she’s tired of having people write information for her all the time. (Things that she should have no problem with, like her own address, etc.)
*From Merriam-Webster online: “objects or activities used to relate classroom teaching to the real life especially of peoples studied” [ETA: Shouldn't that be "...especially of peoples studying"?]
