Voice – not which that comes out thru the mouth, but that in writing.
“Voice is the writer’s presence in a piece of writing” as Tom Romano defines it in his article The Power of Voice published in Education Leadership Oct 2004 Vol 62 No.2 Pg 20-23.
“Voice is the key to helping our students develop into writers. We must give them opportunities to hear their own written voices and the written voices of others�their peers, their teachers, and the best authors.”

logged on to net n msn at 12+, chat wif a student. not a typically hardworking student, always late in handing up of work, find chance to ‘skip’ homework if possible, and never fail to be the last one to turn up for class! typical bad student?
nay, for anything that should happen, there must be reason(s) behind. this is especially true where CL as a subject is concerned in our unique education environment. current reality is that many of our students are simply BORED by CL lessons. 2 major reasons behind this:

说了那么多废è¯ï¼Œback to my student, she said i hav long given up on cl. but we came to a common realisation that that is not entirely true. it’s the past bad experience that is the cause of all these ‘bad’ behaviours. things can be changed from today onwards. 其实,一个讨厌åŽæ–‡çš„人怎么å¯èƒ½æˆä¸ºå‡æœŸåŽæ–‡è®¨è®ºå°ç»„的组长?天方夜è°ï¼so am glad that things are really changing 🙂
