Today I'm feeding myself intellectually. When you teach, you learn a lot, too. But in Vygotskyan terms, you don't always reach the zone of proximal development. Teaching-wise, yes, but not text reading wise.
My wonderful old lit professor at the English department told me about a conference. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear him speak on my (and I think his, too) favourite subject: Rhetorical silence. However, today my other old professor, this time in rhetorics, is speaking about The Poetic Sign.
Yes, it's nerdy. And I'm really looking forward to it!
But it's also fun, rewarding, embarrassing, intellectually stimulating, time consuming - and something worth blogging about.
Velkommen - Welcome
Denne tosprogede blog handler om hverdagen som gymnasielærer. Jeg er i gang med det hæsblæsende 1-årige pædagogikum, og her på bloggen kan jeg læsse af og lade op.
This bilingual blog is about my life as an English teacher at a Danish gymnasium. This year, I'm doing the pedagogical training course and I'll probably need a place to ponder and wonder.
