A technical English lesson – machines that don’t work

Jul 232010

Just a quick note to say:

1. OUP have kindly posted something I wrote on problem solving activities for technical English here. It contains a lesson idea.

2. Macmillan have allowed me to describe my key struggles with ‘merican (in their wonderful ‘merican English month) here.

I just re-read what I posted there and thought ‘Goodness, do I sound like a Brit or what?’ I mean, doesn’t that sound like someone who sounds bothered about imposing through and through?

Sheesh, no wonder I’m having trouble learning ‘merican! 🙂
