You mentioned that we should contact you if we were interested in Summer jobs, so I wanted to connect and see if you had any recommendations. Hope all's going well in Boston, and thanks for the teaching. My e-mail is i_mcd@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Hey Brian, thanks for toughing it out with me in my last week!
I was thinking a lot about the moment in my last class. After the gist listening, the question was "Who is he singing to?" and Sara answered "Um... John Lennon?" Clearly, there are things I could have done to check the understanding of the questions.
But it drove home a point that you had made during feedback to our whole class. That QUESTIONS are very difficult for ESL learners. I sort of accepted what you were saying at the time, and I can see how it is true. Now I get it much more strongly.
You're a great trainer! Thanks for all the support.
