Greetings all, all words fall short to express my admiration on seeing this topic. I have asked myself more than once why most of us don't write their posts in English.
I am a secondary school English teacher in Tanta and I just had about an hour persuading one of my close friends to teach in English. I have to say I am probably the only teacher using English to teach English in my school and as you can guess, it's a very frustrating situation here. But, in fact, as soon as I reach home 80 % of my words is Arabic. That's to say I speak English with my students only at school.
Using English seems to be a tough work for some teachers . Unfortunately, it's also the testing system designed by the government that doesn't prioritize the importance of language .
