Any new group of students can be a challenge, as I have often said, and more so when classes have been organised in such a way that one has got to almost "co-habit" with them for three full days until we "part", which is very much what happened this time - we barely had time to get to know one another and already we were saying good-bye.
Apart from the "pedagogical" constraints arisen from such a timetable organisation we did enjoy ourselves (which some co-teachers I happen to know and work with are profoundly against) whilst learning and revising extended aeronautical oriented vocabulary as a preparation for a test in Aeronautical Communication.
Islanders seem to have a different attitude towards learning in general and without wanting to generalise or have a bias opinion on whether that's the way it should be, these students (the greatest majority from the Azores) made me feel really good and apraised.
