MY STUDENTS ARE MUTE

MY STUDENTS ARE MUTE

A Poem by Jvl narasimharao

I am a great English teacher

With an incredible stature

Carrying a well compiled text

Which is nothing but a mere pretext.

I start teaching the lesson loudly

Explain the stories interestingly

Teach grammar and vocabulary analytically

My students listen to them nonchalantly

I describe the phonetics with rounded lips

Talk about morphology with many useful tips

Though I teach everything in great detail

Most of my attempts prove to be futile

Whenever I ask a question, most of my students can’t speak

Their English is undoubtedly very weak

The majority of them can’t read

Though many times I helplessly plead

I don’t know why my students are mute

I call each and every one a brute

After all English is not their mother tongue

It will never be their own tongue

I give anyone who tries to learn to speak and write English as a second language a lot of credit. There are many ins and outs of the grammar and meaning and it is not easy to learn. It must be frustrating for you, as a teacher, to see your students struggling and afraid to answer a question in English. Well written poem. Lydi**

I think it does the brain good to learn another language. You write better in English than many who do call it their mother tongue.

Hard to learn another language until we must. I learn to speak German in 3 months and write the language in one year because I lived in the country. I took three years of Spanish in school. When I got to Honduras. In two weeks I learn the language and was the post translator. Kids are just kids. Don't see the future. The sad part in the USA. Few students attempt a new language. I like your thoughts on a important topic. A bi-language student mind is stronger and expand. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
