Of course, this chore forced me to face up to the fact I've been teaching ESL for years. Let me be even more accurate here: I've been doing this for decades! I have spent so many hours in front of classrooms with so many different people. It's all a little scary when I stop to ponder the numbers.
Today's entry includes the photo above just to highlight the point. These were students of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces in Dammam. I taught a year at the Technical Institute of Naval Studies there. It was a very interesting time as the students came from all parts of the Kingdom. Their officers kept them tired most of the time so I am not sure how effective the English language training was. This picture is over twenty years old. Now, these young guys will have become old men. I am not sure how I've been able to remain exactly the same.
