On the last day of classes, all the students turned in their final papers. For about 10-15 minutes, they gave feedback on the course. Then the class decided to play a friendly game of beach ball volleyball for the remaining time. In the picture was my team, consisting of Queena, Grace, and Ai. The other team (Simon, Kimmy, Haruka, Jumpei, and Sophia) boldly declared themselves the winners. There was no objective person present to judge. So it was up to myself, a highly subjective teacher, to decide the winning team. I will let the blog audience guess who really won.
This picture was taken at the reception following our class. I was dressed in the t-shirt distributed to all faculty and students of the ESL Institute's Summer 2008 semester. Behind me is Queena with the beach ball used in our (triumphant?) game. I'm making that face because I thought she was about to bounce the ball on my head. Behind Queena is Grace in pink. Next to Grace is Ai in gray. All of them were great teammates.
I wish all my students success in the following semester. And we all wish Jumpei success in his new home at Eastern Michigan University.
