I just finished my first course and so far I've learned a lot about teaching, and perhaps specifically about teaching middle-aged Germans. I've compiled a list of likes and dislikes of my students thus far:
LIKES:
talking about their families
speaking German
jokes about dating Brad Pitt
singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes"
complaining about English
DISLIKES:
singing "The ABC Song"
spelling
grammar
speaking English
jokes about Daniela Katzenberger
So, if I can just utilize more "likes" and avoid all "dislikes"....
