...outnumbering native leaf students

Which meant a lot of teachers were doubling as english tutors while also trying to teach their actual courses

I don't have beef with the students, but with the college for being more concerned with getting money from international students than with actual classroom functionality

I had a student in our first "write a news" assignment class thing

hand in a stolen AP article

because he didn't understand that he had to do his own reporting

dude was from fuckin' china and intended to return there with his *journalism degree*

1) what
2) why
3) fucking hell

That is a China thing @King Canuck

@SideTracker you nasty

yeah, our indian students picked things up fast

their pronounciations got a little freud-y

but they picked up the skills no problem

@JackH670 why?

What they do for essays and the like in uni there, is they copy the best authoritative source they can find

Chinese making cheap knockoffs

Imagine my shock

they consider the reading of that source and the finding of it to be the assignement

We had a syrian student pronounce "protest" as "prostate"

on live tv

it was brutal

she was **told** to rehearse

but she was like, 40, and didn't want to listen to the students or the prof

Prostate

Milk it

eww

behave

"THE STOODENT PROSTATE THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT"

That's gay

she would speak with a normal tone

but on camera IT WAS

YELLING. WITH ODD PAUSES.

AND SUDDEN. MISPRONOUNCIATIONS.

We couldn't figure out how to help her

she tried using a quote nearly six years old from a story unrealted to her assignment

it took 5 minutes for me to find the guy she wanted a quote from, call him, and have him give a better quote

fucking lazy-ass motherfuckers
