Dilly-dallying to Decision

After months of deliberation and discussion about writing a blog here I am. I find it quite daunting to share thoughts and opinions about my teaching situation in public mostly because there seems to be an abundance of such blogs and really hasn't everything already been said and debated? Nonetheless, I am here and believe that reflecting on the various ups and downs of my teaching week in a public sphere may help clarify my thoughts, opinions and dilemmas. As I deliberate over what to write I find myself going backwards and forwards erasing, deleting and just simply staring at the words in front of me. Writing is complex! And there I have it - a reason for committing myself to a blog. If writing is hard for me - how hard must it be for my students? An end to dilly-dallying - a decision made. I blog to unravel my thoughts and wrestle with the many challenges raised by teaching English as a Foreign Language - one of which is teaching EFL students to write coherently. A blog seems just the place to examine the extent of my own lucidity.
