Luke Thompson

Could you explain it if you had to?

If you were suddenly put into the hot seat...

Like you're in my English class and one of the students, teacher, can you explain what is difference hot and heat?

And I'd say, OK, Pedro, you're going to answer this one.

You're in the hot seat.

And the whole class goes, really, Luke, can't you just answer the question yourself?

Why do you have to turn this into some sort of...

You know, student led activity.

Just tell us the answer, for goodness sake, Luke.

It's too hot for these.

Just tell me.

Have you ever been in a situation like that with an English teacher where they've they've just come out of like English teaching training?

They've just done their training course.

And they've been told that you can't just answer a question as efficiently and quickly as possible.

That you have to find a way of eliciting the answer from the student themselves.

So one of the students says, what does mean hot and heat?

What is difference?

I mean, what's the difference between hot and heat?

Yeah.

Well, what do you think, Manuela?
