katia8 Re: classroom language 01.04.08, 22:28 Hi, and thank you for so quick answer. Well, in Polish schools the athmosphere is rather formal ;) I'm curious, how English children call their teacher. Do they use her/his name? Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: classroom language 02.04.08, 13:25 In most English schools the teacher is normally called Mr...or Mrs..or Ms.. or just sir..when I teach I always ask my students to call me Jon as I prefer to be informal..:) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
